Plot
Pothen Upadeshi makes his living as a Gospel preacher. He stays in a house that has been granted to him by Chandy Muthalaali for sometime so to as to get rid of evilness prevailing in that site. Pathrose and Kunjumol are his children. Pathrose tries to make an earning by playing drama. However it doesn't yield him any good financial benefits. His mother gets him married to Molly so that they get a mini lorry also as dowry. Pathrose joins Chandy Muthalaali to transport his goods to Sait at Ernakulam. Chandy had already bribed the tax officials so as to evade tax at checkposts. Pathrose decides to transport fish from Ernakulam to his hometown and sell to make profit. However he is blocked by the authorised fish trader in Ernakulam, Tharakan who takes away the whole fish Pathrose had purchased. Pathrose had suffered heavy loss, however Molly gives him her ornaments to be pledged. Pathrose fights with the fish trader and transports fish in return. He also transports goods directly without Chandy's knowledge to earn more. When Chandy's men gets to know about it, they burn Pathrose's lorry and damages his house. Pathrose also comes to know that Molly was ditched by Chandy's son earlier. Pathrose leaves his house disappointed. His father takes Molly to her house.
With the financial aid given by Mary, a fish vendor, Pathrose progresses as a fish seller. Occasionally he meets Anthony, who is a drug addict. He joins hands with Anthony and they get jointly involved in drug business. They also plan Kunjumol's wedding. However Upadeshi, who is now in an old age home refuses to go home for the wedding.
