Synopsis[]

Plachottil Kuttan Pillai is a strong-willed policeman who lives a contented life with his wife, Sub-Inspector Shakunthala, looking after his backyard farm. They have three children, all married and settled. A party of his relatives - his children, their spouses and the extended family - converge at his humble home to attend the annual Shivarathri festival attached to the famous Shiva Temple in the neighbourhood. Yet, the festive mood is soon embroiled with selfish objectives of the sons-in-law, blowing off Pillai's peaceful domestic life. A son-in-law, Suneesh (Biju Sopanam), intends to cut down a huge Jackfruit tree in Pillai's backyard for making furniture for his new house, but Pillai protests. Suneesh makes fight with Kuttan Pilla and he leaves the house along with his wife and children. The next day, Pillai dies when a jackfruit falls onto him while taking a stroll around his backyard. He becomes a ghost, and along with some other ghosts, watches what is going to happen in his house after his death. Meanwhile, Kuttan pillai comes to know that all other ghosts were the victims of the Puttingal Temple Fire accident, which occurred on Shivarathri day. Suneesh tries to fell the tree soon after Pillai's funeral, much to the worry of his apparition. His wife, however, stops him from doing so with a stern warning, leaving behind a happy Pillai.
