The film opens in a breezy, small village where a colorful cast of characters keeps daily life lively, and a light narrator M G Soman guides us through the rhythms of village life. The Panchayat becomes the stage for daily comedies and petty feuds, especially the scramble to address a big problem: there is no veterinary doctor in town. The two feuding factions step forward, led by Nanappan [Jagathy Sreekumar] and Uthpalakshan [Kuthiravattam Pappu], who pressure the Panchayat president to act, delivering an ultimatum to resign if a vet isn’t found soon, setting the tone for the village’s comic clashes.
Amid the political gambits, a tender thread surfaces: Ammukutty falls for Pappen, and the romance catches the eye of the village, even as Unnikannan Nair [Nedumudi Venu] wrestles with his own doubts. Ammukutty’s affection is complicated by the long-standing rivalries among Nanappan, Uthpalakshan, and the shrewd, theatrical “Society” Balan [Jagadish], who becomes entangled in the affair as part of the village’s web of loyalties and schemes. The personal drama sits alongside a broader web of humor, including the playful feud between Pappan and his mother’s kin, especially the feisty rivalry of Pappan's Grandfather [Thikkurissy Sukumaran Nair] and Kunjulakshmi [Philomina], whose clashes pepper the narrative with humor.
A further romantic thread develops as Society Balan pursues U. D. C. Kumari [Kalpana], a relationship that draws in Balan’s father and the wily Parameswara Kurup [Paravoor Bharathan], weaving multiple couples into the village’s tangled social fabric. The story takes a turn when Parameswara Kurup travels in search of a vet and crosses paths with an old friend who fashions himself as a healer—Dr. Pasupathi, better known as Bhairavan [Innocent]. The double identity injects confusion and temptation into the village’s works, drawing Ammukutty and Pappen deeper into the evolving plot.
Unnikannan Nair’s perspective shifts as he grows to accept Bhairavan, and with that softening comes a plan: he arranges Ammukutty’s marriage, hoping to steady the community’s fluttering wheels. Yet heartache gnaws at Pappen, who leaves the village to seek work elsewhere, finding a momentary refuge with a police circle inspector before the next twist arrives. The town’s newest surge of trouble arrives with Velayudhan Kutty [Mamukkoya], Bhairavan’s relative, stepping into the scene to push forward with the scam, intensifying the stakes and forcing Pappen’s allies to rally and summon him back to defend Ammukutty.
As the village skates between laughter and schemes, the story threads together friendships, loyalties, and the stubborn hope that everyday life can survive, even thrive, when communities navigate love, duty, and the unpredictable turns of village politics. The balance of humor and heart holds the tale together, painting a vivid picture of a Kerala village where every day brings a new joke, a new dispute, and a chance for people to come together for a common good.
