==Plot==

Gopan ([[Jayaram]]) a single father living with his six-year-old son Achu ([[Kalidas Jayaram]]) in Goa works in a petrol pump and as an occasional tourist photographer. A teenager Celin, ([[Kavya Madhavan]]) his neighbour falls in love with him forcing Gopan to reveal that Achu's mother Asha Lakshmi ([[Lakshmi Gopalaswamy]]) is alive and how they were separated.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/amaram-uyare-memorable-depictions-single-fathers-malayalam-cinema-107414|title=From ‘Amaram’ to ‘Uyare’: Memorable depictions of single fathers in Malayalam cinema|first=Aradhya|last=Kurup|date=18 August 2019|work=The News Minute|access-date=24 June 2021}}</ref>

Gopan and Asha had a run-away marriage as Asha is from a rich family while Gopan is just a videographer at a local studio. Asha, an admired classical dance artist prior to her marriage, left her career to lead a life with Gopan, becoming a simple housewife. After Achu's birth Maya Varma ([[Bhanupriya]]), a famous classical dance artist, learns of Asha's talent and asks her to join her dance troupe.

Asha's aspiring career starts to conflict with the peaceful life she had with Gopan and their child; this, fueled by tensions between Gopan and Asha's father, results in Gopan leaving with his son, thinking that it would benefit her life and career.

Gopan meets Maya in Goa accidentally but she acts as if she didn't recognize him. Few days later Celin brings Maya to Gopan who reveals that Asha never danced again after Gopan left with his son. Gopan and Asha reunite on the advice of Maya that there should be a balance between art and family life.
