Plot

[edit]

Radha Devi is an office assistant working in the city of Kozhikode. She is in love with the unemployed Sivan. Radha Devi moves to Satyavathiyamma's home as a paying guest along with two friends, Indu and Rama. Indu is the head of the housekeeping staff in a hotel; Rama is an associate editor of a magazine and is a feminist. They meet the irascible Dr. Aniruddhan, a widower with a baby girl.[2]

Many comical scenes follow with characters including the local postman Ulpalakshan, a local politician Thotta MLA and compounder Khader. Meanwhile, Sivan suffers due to unemployment and financial difficulties. His self-esteem is questioned by his sister-in-law Devaki and Radha's uncle.

The plot thickens, with Sivan forced to break up with Radha by Radha's uncle and mother as he is unemployed. Later Radha becomes close to Dr. Aniruddhan's baby daughter. Seeing her affection to the kid, Dr.Aniruddhan proposes Radha Devi. Meanwhile, Sivan comes back to meet Radha Devi at Kozhikode with the news that he has secured a job in a company in Calcutta. Brokenhearted, Radha Devi reveals that she has decided to marry Aniruddhan and the marriage is going to be held at a registrar's office in several days' time. Sivan accepts this and leaves, promising to come for the marriage. On the day of marriage, Aniruddhan surprises Radha Devi and Sivan by announcing that he has realized the relationship between Radha and Sivan and the reasons behind their break-up, and that it was them both that should get married that day. Aniruddhan had even arranged Radha's mother and uncle to come there to attend the marriage. Aniruddhan leaves with his child. Sivan and Radha marry.
