Plot
Template:Tone The film[3] is based on organ transplantation. Hero (Unni Mukundan) is a Brahmin boy who is from a financially poor family. On the other hand, Lal is a Muslim man who hails from a financially sound background. Lal is suffering from kidney failure and is in need of a kidney to transplant. Unni Mukundan[4] who is need of money for his signers marriage agrees to sell his kidney. Meantime Lal's near relatives don't want him to be alive for long time as they will get his property and money after his death. The relatives make issues and delayed the transplantation by saying that an organ from Brahmin boy cannot be taken by a Muslim, as it is religiously not faithful. They want the hero to become Muslim to give the organ. Unni Mukundan agreed for conversion, as he badly needs money for signers marriage. The film goes by some thriller moments for the transplantation. Finally, Lal is no more alive when Unni Mukundan comes to Lal's home soon after he converted to Muslim. In the climax, Lal, before he died, had already given a cheque to his servant for handing over to Unni Mukundan for the pain he took for getting his signers marriage done. The film showcases the evil beliefs of society and religion. Film comes with some thrilling moments, emotions and marvelous songs.
