Plot

Raveendranath (Mammootty) a worker at Bhilai steel plant leads a happy family life. His small family consists of Seetha (Lakshmi Gopalaswami), his north Indian wife, and Lakshmi and Chinnu, two daughters. Ravi left his home in his teenage days after a scuffle and has no connection with anyone back home. The sudden death of his colleague makes Ravi think about his roots and he makes a sudden visit to his house with his wife and kids.

At home, things have changed a lot in past 18 years. Rajendranath (Devan), his elder brother, still holds a grudge against Ravi. His younger brother Hari (Krishnakumar) and sister Sunanda (Bindu Panikker) are afraid that a part of the family property would be now handed over to Ravi. But Geetha (Sona Nair) another sister is very happy to see him. After seeing him, the health of his mother (Kaviyoor Ponnamma) betters and she asks him to stay for the rest of her life. In a short time, Ravi succeeds in winning the hearts of his siblings and leaves for Bhilai — this time taking his mother with him.
