==Plot==
The setting of the story is a picturesque village in the high ranges of Kerala, called Balanpillai City. Elsamma ([[Ann Augustine]]) is the eldest of four daughters of Maria Varkey ([[KPAC Lalitha]]). After her father's death, she started working as a newspaper agent/local reporter/delivery girl to earn extra income. Unnikrishnan, alias Palunni, ([[Kunchacko Boban]]) is a milkman and close friend of Elsamma who never revealed his love towards her. Kunnel Paappan ([[Nedumudi Venu]]) and Elsamma's family share very close ties, almost like one family. Elsamma is also a staunch activist who wants to close down the local toddy shop run by a strongman Sugunan ([[Vijayaraghavan (actor)|Vijayaraghavan]]). This brings her into regular conflict with him as well as the Panchayat member Ramanan ([[Jagathy Sreekumar]]).

Paalunni confides his love for Elsamma to Paappan who promises to convey this to Elsamma when the time is right. Paappan's daughter-in-law passes away and his grandchildren Aby ([[Indrajith Sukumaran|Indrajith]]) and his sister Sherin come to live with their grandparents in Balanpillai City. Aby is attracted to Elsamma and tries to flirt with her, hoping to have sex with her. Sherin dislikes her for no reason and is always rude to her.

Sugunan calls Aby and his friends who are visiting the village and urges them to entrap Elsamma and her sisters and create disrepute so that Elsamma would leave his illicit liquor business alone. Aby tells Paappan and Maria that he wants to marry Elsamma. A wedding is arranged without Elsamma's knowledge or consent, and Paappan could not object, in spite of knowing that Paalunni likes Elsamma. Paalunni tearfully accepts the situation keeping in mind Elsamma and family's long-term well-being. Elsamma later catches Jerry, one of Aby's friends, in a compromising position with Aby's sister Sherin. She informs Aby of this through Paalunni. When Aby comes to know about this, he beats up Jerry. In retaliation, Jerry discloses that Aby's proposal to marry Elsamma was only his last straw to get her after she had been turning down his advances. Aby's sister, pained upon knowing that Jerry did not love her but was only flirting with her, attempts to commit suicide but is saved in time. She apologises to Elsamma for having been consistently rude to her and they reconcile. Elsamma later forgives Aby but pleasantly turns down his proposal. Aby and his sister are taken to Dubai by their father, who promises to Paappan that they'll come back as better individuals. The movie ends with Elsamma also telling Paalunni that she loves him.
