Plot
 | This article needs an improved plot summary. (September 2020) |
Ayyappan Nair (Innocent) is a mahout who adores elephants. Karthika (Sunitha) is his daughter who is doing a diploma. Vasu (K B Ganesh Kumar) is Ayyappan's sister's son. Khader (Paravoor Bharathan) is his neighbour. Raghavan Nair (Mamukoya) is a so-called broker; he is very intelligent in making people stupid and gaining money. Parasuraman (Jagadeesh) is his helper. Both are very intelligently doing tactical businesses.
The movie starts as a clear snap to emphasize the elephant love of Ayyappan Nair. While he is going back home, he sees an elephant whom he knows well. He feeds it fruits and biscuits which he bought to take home. He finally plans to take a bank loan and buy an elephant. The loan amount they got was INR 40,000. The bank demanded to see the elephant within 30 days. Khader advised Ayyappan to see Raghavan Nair. Raghavan Nair promised to fetch him an elephant at the earliest. Ayyappan, Parasuraman and Raghavan Nair search various parts of Kerala for an elephant.
At last, they got one from a circus company. They got a female elephant. All the family rejoiced to have her. But the problem was she knew only Hindi. So Vinayachandran (Mukesh) was called to teach Ayyappan Nair Hindi language. He came and stayed with them. With his help, they controlled her. But Ayyappan Nair could not use her for work in the timber yard because she was not interested in such heavy work. Meanwhile, Vinayachandran and Karthika get close and jump into a love affair. On the other hand, Ayyappan Nair got the notice from the bank on behalf of his dues in payment. Vasu got angry towards the love between Vinayan & Sujatha. Ayyappan Nair agreed to their marriage. This made Vasu very nervous. He decided to kill the elephant.
