Malappuram Haji Mahanaya Joji

Kunjalikutty had secured both a Dubai visa and a teaching job offer at Malappuram Hajiyar's school. When his father refused to let him go to Dubai and insisted he take the teaching post, Kunjalikutty came up with a plan to keep his Dubai plans secret. He persuaded his educated friend Joji to pose as him at the school while he slipped away to Dubai, leaving his parents believing he was at the teaching job.

Kunjalikutty's father wanted his son to accept the teaching position at Malappuram Hajiyar's school rather than go to Dubai. The exact reason isn't specified in the summary, but it likely stemmed from his preference for a stable, local teaching job over the uncertainty of working abroad, especially given his friendship with Hajiyar who ran the school.

Joji, being handsome and well-educated, took on Kunjalikutty's identity and began teaching at the school. He had to constantly hide his true identity as a Hindu while living among Muslims in a strict religious environment. Joji gradually earned Hajiyar's favor despite the precarious nature of his masquerade, but faced constant pressure as Aliyar, his roommate and colleague, grew suspicious of him.

Jafer Khan allegedly orchestrated a visa scam that victimized Kunjalikutty. When Kunjalikutty returned from Dubai, he revealed to Joji that he had become a victim of this scam. Jafer Khan then seemed intent on targeting Joji as well to finish what he started, adding another layer of danger to the already risky impersonation situation.

Aliyar, the physical education teacher who became Joji's roommate, noticed inconsistencies that made him suspicious. Joji's cover nearly slipped on several occasions during his tenure, triggering Aliyar's suspicions. The tension between them escalated when Premalatha recognized Joji as her former tutor and Joji admitted he was living under a false identity, an exchange that Aliyar overheard while hiding.

Sukumaran, Premalatha's hot-tempered husband who was a soldier on leave, became paranoid and suspected an affair between his wife and Joji. His fury intensified when Aliyar spoke ill of Joji's character to him. During the confrontation, Sukumaran tried to shoot Joji but the bullet accidentally hit Aliyar in the neck instead, leaving him mute until surgery.

When Sukumaran tried to shoot Joji, the bullet accidentally struck Aliyar in the neck. The injury left Aliyar mute, and he remained in this condition until he could undergo surgery. This incident added to the chaos and increased the urgency for Joji and Kunjalikutty to resolve the situation before Aliyar could reveal Joji's true identity.

While visiting the temple, Joji was confronted by Gouri, a member of a respected Hindu family, along with the temple priest. This encounter was significant because it highlighted the delicate balance Joji had to maintain between different faiths and communities while living under false identity. It raised questions about his true identity and added to the mounting pressures of his double life.

Premalatha was one of Joji's former pupils who was now married to the canteen owner living next to Joji. When she spotted Joji at the school, she immediately recognized him as her old tutor. She was relieved to reconnect with her former teacher, but Joji had to explain that he was living under the false identity of Kunjalikutty.

With Aliyar incapacitated from the shooting and Jafer Khan's goons still looming, Joji and Kunjalikutty worked together to uncover the truth about the visa scam while keeping Joji's disguise intact. They had to outmaneuver suspicion from multiple directions, including the threat that Aliyar might reveal Joji's identity, and ultimately worked to unravel the scam and prevent disgrace for both of them.

The summary indicates that the film follows how Joji and Kunjalikutty navigated the perilous masquerade while trying to keep Hajiyar's trust intact. The ending is described as attempting to restore order in a community that rewards honesty but is easily unsettled by deception. While the exact outcome regarding Hajiyar's knowledge isn't specified, the resolution suggests they managed the situation without complete disgrace.
