==Plot==<br />
[[Mammootty]] plays Bavutty, a [[chauffeur]] in a wealthy household. He is much more than a driver; he is very much part of the family. For Sethu (played by [[Shankar Ramakrishnan]]), his employer, life is all about making money, but Bavutty is a simple man with small dreams. [[Kavya Madhavan]] plays Vanaja, Sethu's wife, while Kaniha appears as Mariam, a housemaid. Bavutty is also acting in a small scale movie called ''Malabar'' which Vanaja is producing. [[Rima Kallingal]] plays the role of Noorjahan, a tuition teacher.<br />
<br />
The story takes on a twist when Vanaja's ex-lover Satheeshan ([[Vineeth]]) shows up. At first Vanaja thinks that he has come out of his poverty to seek help and tries to help him. But later, it is revealed that he has come to blackmail her and to squeeze out huge money. Satheeshan tells Vanaja that if they don't pay him 10 lakh rupees, he will tell her husband that Vanaja was already once married before her marriage with Sethu. Bavutty tries to sell his land and give off the ransom, but Bavutty's ally Alavi ([[Harisree Ashokan]]) beats up Satheeshan with the help of goons. Satheeshan talks about this to Bavutty which Sethu overhears. Sethu at first decides to break up with Vanaja but Bavutty cools him down and the marriage is saved. In the end, Bavutty is seen still giving 10 lakh to Satheeshan after selling his land and advising him to earn his bread and butter from now on and never to beg again.<br />
