{{plot|date=March 2020}} <!--per [[WP:FILMPLOT]], plot summaries should be between 400 and 700 words--> <br />
P. V. Mathayyi was a participant in the [[1990 Asian Games]] in [[Beijing]]. After [[Indian Kabaddi Team (men's division)|India]] beat [[Bangladesh national kabaddi team|Bangladesh]], P.V Mathayyi rose to prominence as one of the first [[Malayalis]], from the district of [[Thrissur district|Thrissur]] to win a gold medal at the Asian Games. When the Games ended, Mathayyi was welcomed back wholeheartedly by the rest of the people in his area. He gifted the youth of the place a ground and a sports club, which the people named Mathayyiparambu. However, the happiness was short-lived, after Mathayyi was killed in a road accident. The people built a statue in his honour in Mathayyiparambu, but soon afterwards, the people forgot the ground's initial use as a sports ground, and the place became a place for the youth to loiter around and play football.<br />
<br />
Vava, Thankan and Pallan are three boys who loiter around on Mathayyiparambu. Their parents are annoyed and Vava's father ([[Sunil Sukhada]]) tells Fr. Mathews Vadakkan ([[Renji Panicker]]), a local [[Mar Thoma Syrian Church|Mar Thoma]] priest to set them on the right path and he grants his son George this responsibility. After class one day, the three boys find George peeping through the bathroom, and catch him doing this. After this incident, they say that George is their leader and is one of them.<br />
<br />
Years later, George ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]), Vava ([[Vinay Forrt]]), Pallan ([[Sharaf U Dheen]]) and Thankan (Thiru Aftab) are still loitering around the ground doing nothing. They have a small gathering on top of a small tower in Mathayyiparambu, where Joseph ([[T.G Ravi]]), a local beggar who takes only Rs. 10 from the [[poor box]] near Jesus' statue and from Georgettan, welcomes them like his own children. Fr. Vadakkan is disappointed in his son George and wants him to become a bishop. George tries to impress his father by doing various things in the community, but each activity ends in disaster.<br />
<br />
Later, two people come and ask for the gang's permission of starting a [[driving school]] in Mathayyiparambu. Although at first reluctant, they agree immediately when the two explain that it is a ladies' driving school. However, they are disappointed when they see old women in the school. Then they hear the sad news of the death of a local [[Member of the Legislative Assembly (India)|MLA]] and a funeral is held by his son Simon ([[Sudheer Karamana]]). There, George meets Merlin ([[Rajisha Vijayan]]), a singer, and instantly falls in love. He is disappointed at the fact that he doesn't know anything about her, not even her name (he didn't find this out). Him and his friends decide to go to their house the next day to find out anything about her, but this ends in disaster.<br />
<br />
The next day, Vava explains that he has a proposal. George and his friends decide to go with him, but he drops off his brother Jose (Jeevan Gopal) at the local [[convent school]], as their father now wants Jose to become a bishop, much to George's delight. There George plays a game of [[carroms]] against Kichu ([[Ganapathi (actor)|Ganapathi]]), places a bet of Rs. 2000 but loses the bet. After, he goes with Vava to the marriage proposal and George takes Rs. 2000 from the girl's dad and gives it to Kichu, angering the dad. He cancels the proposal between the two.<br />
<br />
George goes and decides to stop the driving school at Mathayyiparambu, as he is disappointed at the fact that there are only old women coming. Right afterwards Merlin comes, and George decides to let the driving school carry on. The driving school teacher tells George that she is going to become a [[nun]] which her mother insisted, as she said that she doesn't have the three qualities a girl needs to have: desire, wish and love. George finds her desiring for and eating a [[Phyllanthus emblica|nellikka]], and tells her that he has proven she has one of the three qualities. George, after joining a class at the convent school, is saved by Merlin after a priest asks him questions. George understands this and tells her that he has proven the second of the three qualities, as she saved him in front of the priest.<br />
<br />
As they leave the convent school, the gang meet a bunch of youths smoking [[cannabis|weed]] outside. George gets angry over this and starts a fight. As George beats up the last person, his father Fr. Vadakkan slaps him, as Fr. Vadakkan is disappointed even more in him. He goes to Mathayyiparambu, but unexpectedly, his mother Mercykutty ([[Kalaranjini]]) comes to visit him. She suggests to George that he should never enter the house.<br />
<br />
The next day, the locals gather to find some construction on Mathayyiparambu. George and his gang go and find Peter Mathayyi ([[Chemban Vinod Jose]]), who explains that he is the son of P.V Mathayyi and that Mathayiparambu is his. They go to Fr. Vadakkan's church and fight the case out there with the priest, where Peter seems to be favored. In retaliation, George and his gang decide to set up a stray dog conservation scheme on Mathayyiparambu, which ends in disaster, ruining George's name in the land. Peter then meets George and [[confidence trick|attempts to gain George's trust]] by saying that he is ready to give Mathayyiparambu away and leave it to waste. George is saddened and says that he is ready to accept any of Peter's demands. Peter suggests that they start a [[kabaddi]] team, which George accepts. They train and play against a team and won. Then they find josephettan dead in ground. And a group of Christians are telling that josephettan is not Cristian so he can't be buried in the church. This make George angry and he dicide to bury josephettan in the ground (Mathaayiparambu).<br />
