<p>The story revolves around a short tempered and domineering house owner, Gopalakrishna Panikkar, who is struggling with debt incurred during the wedding of his two sisters. He needs to force his tenants to vacate so that the house can be sold and the debt repaid. The tenants do not want to leave for reasons of their own. The only way Gopalakrishnan can escape from certain bankruptcy is to sell the property he owns in the city and use the proceeds to settle his debts. To do that, he has to evict his tenants from there first. Unfortunately for him, his tenant is the feisty Meera and her family, who absolutely refuses to vacate the house. Gopalakrishnan uses an obscure clause in the contract to take up residence at the house, and tries his best to smoke his tenants out and takes help of his friend, Sub-Inspector Rajendran (Sreenivasan) to evict them.

Gopalakrishnan plans on Rajendran to marry Meera in order to evict her with her family, but fails when it is revealed by Meera’s mother that she was a mental patient due to the death of her father.
