Sreehari (Mohanlal), the protagonist, was compelled to leave his village and home after being convicted for plotting a murder, and returns home after spending a year in jail and living in Paris for many years. Hari was in a deep relationship with Indu and their marital prospects were resisted by Indu's mother, Devaki (Nilambur Ayisha). She despises Hari's family due to their familial connection with her husband - who deserted the family and left with a Tamil lady. Balachandran, a close friend of Hari and Indu, double crosses the former and opts to marry Indu (Arranged by Devaki). On the wedding day, a lamenting Hari witnesses the marriage procession - only to intervene and rescue Balachandran, fatally attacked by Peethambaran (Bheeman Raghu). The latter blurts out that, Hari paid him for the attack and flees the scene. Devaki, is terrified and collapses at the spot. Indu doubts Hari's integrity.

Back home, he tries to get back every moment of his past-his teenage romance, the sights and sounds that he had once savoured because he does not have much life left, he is afflicted with cancer. Much of the story revolves around his childhood love Indu (Meena), and about the other two friends, one who turns out to be a husband of Indu and another one Ramanunni (Ranjith) who tried to kill her husband and tried to put the blame on Sreehari to get Indu. While Sreehari returns Indu was taking care of her bed ridden husband. After his return Sreehari proves his innocence to Indu and her husband. In an attempt to get Indu, Ramanunni kills Indu's husband.

Indu comes under the shelter of Sreehari, but she is kidnapped by Ramanunni and saved by Sreehari. Meanwhile, Doctor Durga (Khushbu Sundar) enters Sreehari home and everyone gets disappointed by her arrival as they want Indu to be united with Sreehari and Durga reveals the truth that she is running her hospital along with her husband in Delhi. And the patient (Sreehari) escaped from their hospital without their knowledge to come to his native village to see his childhood friends. Sreehari leaves with Indu and Durga for the treatment and viewers are left with an hopeful expectation that he will return healthy.

Reception[]

The film did not receive an expected response when it was released. Ranjith says, "Mohanlal fans expected too much. I don't think it was a bad film. Many who watched it on DVD called to say they were surprised it did not do well. Fans come in with pre-conceived notions on how the actor will be in the movie and the kind of story it will be, hence they could not grasp the poetic element in the film."^[1]
