Plot

Appu is a simple salesman in a shop in Ooty. He has no family and is unmarried. Kurianchan also works with Appu and lives with his wife and kids. Kuriachan and wife use Appu for babysitting, kitchen work, and other help around the house. Kuriachan's family is all the family Appu has experienced. He hopes to have a family of his own someday. Kuriachan's wife persuades Appu to get married. Appu marries Manju, the only daughter of a rich local businesswoman. Due to Manuju's horoscope, it was difficult for her to get a groom. But Appu and Manju's horoscopes match, which leads to the wedding.

While Appu is a poor salesman, Manju is from an wealthy family. But Manju adores him. Manju's mother is controlling and Manju listen to her every word obediently. Manju works with her mother at the factory. When mother and daughter leave for the factory, Appu gets bored at home. He often haunts his old hangouts, causing his mother-in-law embarrassment. Manju tries to reason with him to discard his old habits and behave like a rich son-in-law, which leads to uncomfortable moments in the couple's lives.

Manju keeps pressuring Appu to behave and interact with people as a man of high status. Appu is a simple person and finds it difficult to act like the rich. Things come to a head and Appu leaves the house. A repentant Manju realizes her mistakes and gets back to Appu.
