Plot edit

Sudhakaran is a manager in an interstate bus office. He loves Ramani, and they hope to marry when she finishes her studies. Sudhakaran's father, a palmist, reads Ramani's hand one day and predicts that a marriage between her and Sudhakaran will end in Sudhakaran's death. Ramani is heartbroken but decides that she will not marry Sudhakaran. Sudhakaran is angry with his father for whom he has only contempt. Ramani marries another man, and Sudhakaran becomes depressed.

Panicker notices his favorite employee's state of mind and promises to find him a bride worthy of his respect and love. Sudhakaran though hesitant gives in to the suggestion and marries Hridayakumari.

Hridayakumari, the new bride is a simple girl with the stubbornness and willfulness of a child. Her behaviour vexes Sudhakaran and his mother. They suspect she is mentally challenged. One thing leads to another and one day, Sudhakaran accepts the telemarketing tactics of a contract killer and pays to get Hridayakumari killed. However, Sudhakaran comes home to see that Hridayakumari has had a change of heart. He now wants to back out from this decision to kill her. He also learns that she is pregnant. Sudhakaran desperately tries to contact the contract killers to ask them to back out, but he can't. He panics and tries to protect Hridayakumari from the unknown possibility of a murder attempt. The climax of the film reveals the characters' multi-dimensional natures.
