Plot edit

Raveendranath, a worker at Bhilai steel plant, leads a happy family life. His small family consists of Seetha, his north Indian wife, and two daughters Lakshmi which is named after his mother and Chinnu which is named after his girlfriend during his childhood. Ravi fled from his home during his teenage days due to being verbally and physically abused by his father throughout his childhood 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 the past 18 years. Govindankutty Menon, Ravi's father had died seven years ago. Rajendranath, his elder brother still isn't welcoming to Ravi due to a past sibling abuse. Ravi was falsely implicated in a sexual affair with his maternal cousin, Premalatha - by his cunning elder brother Rajendran, when actually Rajendran has raped Premalatha in the past. Premalatha ends up getting married to a policeman who is also an abusive alcoholic and they have a daughter, Suja. Later in the film, Sreedharan, Ravi's maternal uncle and mother reveals to Ravi that, they became aware of Rajendran's treachery through Prema.

His younger brother Hari and sister Sunanda are afraid that a part of the family property will be now handed over to Ravi. But Geetha, another sister, is very happy to see him. After seeing him, the health of his mother improves and she asks him to stay for the rest of her life knowing him not to be the cause of a heinous history in their family. In a short time, Ravi succeeds in winning the hearts of his siblings and leaves for Bhilai — this time taking his mother with him.
