<p>Narayanan Kutty, a handicapped man in a village, struggles to make a living despite the support of Lazar, a wealthy man who pretends to be a kind and helpful figure in front of the villagers and helps Narayanan start a small grocery shop. Narayanan falls in love with Sridevi, a school teacher who arrives in the village, and their marriage is soon arranged. However, their happiness is shattered when the body of another teacher, Hema, is found in the river. The police begin investigating her death, and Narayanan becomes the prime suspect after a police dog focuses on him, causing the villagers to doubt his innocence. His marriage to Sridevi is jeopardized, and even Lazar, who once helped him, refuses to assist him in clearing his name. When the police catch Narayanan Kutty, he reveals that Aputi had taken a sack from his shop the night of the murder, which makes Narayanan believe that Aputi might be framing him out of hate and trying to make him the killer. Narayanan fears Aputi might harm him when he comes to confront him, but to his surprise, Aputi reveals the truth. Aputi explains that Lazar, in an attempt to protect his reputation after Hema became pregnant with his child, killed her. Aputi’s revelation clears up the misunderstanding. Narayanan, with Aputi’s help, confronts Lazar in front of the villagers, forcing him to confess to the crime. With Lazar’s confession, Narayanan is exonerated, and his name is cleared. In the end, Narayanan Kutty and Sridevi join back, and they are happy together. The music was composed by and the lyrics were written by .
