==Plot==
The story happens in a government school that had a glorious past but is now on the verge of being shut down as there are fewer than 60 students enrolled there. The teachers have no hope about making a difference to the situation and are busy with their personal activities.

Into this situation comes a young teacher Vinayachandran ([[Prithviraj Sukumaran]]), who makes a difference. Being a new teacher to the institution, it is unknown to all that he is the son of the school's former headmaster, who became a dishonor after all the students of the school failed in the [[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC exams]] and died heartbroken.
