Plot

An anthology of four unusual stories where each couple fights to be with the ones they love against all odds.^[7]

Ramachandran is a peon at a Kerala Government office in Thiruvananthapuram. M. S. Lekshmi is a new engineer who is transferred to his office. A warm friendship blossoms between Ramachandran and Lekshmi, despite their class and educational difference. Ramu is a poor schoolboy in a remote Palakkadan village harbouring an untold love towards his classmate. Joseph is a firebrand young political worker in Alappuzha who meets and has a hate-turned-to-love relationship with bold college girl Uma. Hakkim Shahjahan is a good-natured BEVCO employee in Idukki who harbours untold love towards a purdah-clad woman who visits his shop daily. Where fate takes these four loverboys and their ladyloves, is the plot of the movie.
