The film starts by displaying an antic of Keshavan who is an inmate of the Kakkanad Mental Hospital. Two other inmates are Benny and Krishnankutty. By profession Benny was an artist, Krishnankutty was an auto-mechanic and Keshavan had retired from military service. The trio chance to come across a newspaper report that the Hindi film star Amitabh Bachchan is visiting Ernakulam city for a film shooting, which is close to where they stay. They are soon joined by a new inmate Venu, brother of Balan who takes him to the mental hospital. Venu is a good singer but suffers from a compulsive obsession to singing. All the four share a passion for Amitabh Bachchan.

Driven by a desire to see Amitabh Bachchan the four manage to escape from the mental hospital that night by outsmarting the cell warden Ameen. They reach Ernakulam city in a bus, but are disappointed to learn that Amitabh Bachchan had gone back after the film shooting which took place a month ago, and they had in fact seen an old newspaper report. They decide not to return to the mental hospital but start living in the city by finding suitable employments.
