The film opens with final-year medical students taking the Hippocratic oath in the medical college auditorium. Sreedevi is honoured with a gold medal and dedicates the award to Haridas, who watches from the corner. They decide to visit their village and sit by the river bank to reminisce about the past.

Haridas and his widowed mother travel to his uncle Kurup's home. They drive past the Nila river and glimpse devotees performing Karkidaka Bali, highlighting the community's rituals. The uncle funds Haridas's education and plans a marriage to Bhanu, signaling the feudal grip on the family.

Haridas begins practicing at the dilapidated clinic run by his uncle and quickly realizes the corrupt, profit-driven system around him. He refuses to prescribe unnecessary medicines for the sake of a family business, drawing the ire of colleagues like Dr Rajan Thomas who want to control the patients' care.

During a confrontation with a Muslim trader, Bhanu defends her father’s questionable methods, revealing the family's entrenched feudal mindset. Haridas recoils at the dishonesty and becomes more determined to practice ethically, despite the resistance around him.

Haridas grows close to the Namboothiri illam family and starts guiding Sreedevi toward a medical career. He moves his clinic near the illam to be of help, and Bhanu misreads their friendship as romance and leaves the clinic in anger.

Haridas visits the illam after learning about their departed son Unni. Overwhelmed by guilt, he administers pethidine to ease the pain, and this night marks the beginning of his creeping addiction that will haunt him for years.

Despite his addiction, Haridas remains devoted to the illam and continues to help Sreedevi's family. He encourages Sreedevi to become a doctor, showing his belief in her future, even as his own grip on sobriety loosens.

A low-caste labourer's wife dies during childbirth due to negligent handling by Dr Rajan Thomas, who neglects the delivery as a birthday party distracts him. Haridas becomes the scapegoat in a smear campaign, and a mob vandalizes his home, injuring him and shattering his reputation.

Illethu visits to check on Haridas after the upheaval and mentions the family’s annual funeral rites. Haridas finally reveals the full truth about that fateful night to Illethu, exposing his own role in Unni's death and seeking a path toward accountability.

Back in college, Haridas was Unni's senior and allows the ragging of new admissions to escalate. Unni collapses and dies under the pressure, and the professor arrives to see the tragedy. The management covers it up as a playground accident, and Haridas pleads for secrecy.

Overwhelmed by guilt and the fallout from Unni's death, Haridas attempts suicide, but Sreedevi arrives and stops him. She promises to stand by him, and they decide that she will pursue medical studies with his support, turning a personal tragedy into a shared mission.

In the present, Haridas and Sreedevi finally arrive at the illam. The mother has forgiven Haridas and the family seems to have found peace again. Haridas leaves with a quiet, contented smile, having mended relationships and steadied his life.
