Mamachan is introduced as an unmarried, cunning politician whose party has limited reach in Kerala. He faces taunts from villagers in Karthikapuram, and his reputation as a national leader contrasts with his local insignificance. The film establishes the influence he wields through sly tactics rather than broad public support.

Mamachan resolves to settle down and seeks a prospective bride. He visits the bride's home, but Wareed the bride's father chases him away after their earlier clash when Mamachan slapped Wareed while wooing Mollykutty. Mollykutty and Mamachan had been classmates, adding tension to the encounter.

To take his life more seriously, he travels to Delhi where a plan is laid for his political ascent. He is told to stand in elections in Kerala with a deal: if he loses his election deposit, he will be elevated to a center role, which stirs jealousy in his colleague Gopi.

Gopi decides it's better to let Mamachan win in Erikkur to remain a legislator rather than risk a Delhi assignment. He secretly brings Mamachan's rivals together to unite behind his campaign and ensure his victory.

Rivals are rallied to work for Mamachan's victory, with the ulterior aim of blocking his move to Delhi. Their collaboration showcases the depth of political scheming behind the scenes. The atmosphere in Erikkur heats up as the election approaches.

Election day arrives and Mamachan clinches the Erikkur seat, securing his position as a legislator. The victory seems to vindicate the plan to keep him in Kerala and away from Delhi. The coalition dynamics leave Gopi and others cautiously triumphant.

Only after the polls is it revealed that the entire setup was Mamachan's calculated move to secure a legislative seat. He reveals there was nothing in Delhi for him, exposing the manipulation behind the apparent alliance. The revelation reframes the election as a self-serving strategy.

A marriage alliance is fixed with a Mumbai man named Charlie to secure the bride Mollykutty. Charlie disappears on the wedding day, creating a crisis that threatens the family’s honor and the match. The village watches as the plan unravels at the eleventh hour.

To protect the bride's honor in the absence of Charlie, the village elders and a priest urge Mamachan to proceed with the arranged marriage. The pressure mounts as traditions and social expectations weigh on the couple-to-be. Mamachan agrees to take on the responsibility for the sake of the family.

Mamachan marries Mollykutty, binding the alliance and stabilizing the community’s honor. The ceremony marks a turning point in his personal life as he steps into married life. The narrative shifts from individual ambition to domestic partnership.

Charlie reappears and reveals he was Mamachan's friend, and the disappearance was part of the plan to secure the marriage. The revelation reframes Charlie's absence as a calculated move rather than a genuine disappearance. The bonds of friendship are presented as a tool within the larger scheme.

Mamachan and Mollykutty are shown to be happily married and moving forward with their lives. The narrative closes on a note of personal stability despite the earlier political machinations. The couple’s future is framed as resilient and hopeful.

The story is based on real-life observations written by Joji Thomas, a native of Karthikapuram. The film acknowledges its roots in local events and personalities. This grounding adds a layer of authenticity to the political and social dynamics depicted.
