Plot[]

Sugunan (Jayaram) is a husband who habitually underestimates his wife Bindu (Gopika) in managing a family. Sugunan wants his wife only to keep house - cook food for him, iron his clothes and clean the house. Even after a long tiring day for Bindu, who does all these and more, but, there's never a word of appreciation or a compliment from her husband. He doesn't even acknowledge the work that she is doing without any rest in her life. This often results in quarrels between them, but like any docile Indian wife, Bindu tolerates it for some time.

Sugunan is also indifferent (and possibly hostile) to Bindu's family - even though her father makes many attempts to get close to him. Bindu is upset at his behaviour. When he has the electricity supply to her father's house shut down since they were drawing power from the electrical grid, during her brother's wedding, Bindu misunderstands.

Later, during a trip to Kodaikanal with Sugunan's friends and their wives, Sugunan doesn't "allow" Bindu to indulge in normal tourist activities like train rides etc. She ends the trip and they all go back to their home when Sugunan fights with two boys who tells to each other about Bindu and their daughter Anjana (Nivetha Thomas) in a hotel where they were booking a room. Sugunan's indifference when Bindu's mother dies drives her the point that she is just a non-entity in her husband's life. Once Sugunan slaps her in a fit of rage and she decides enough is enough and goes back to her house.

A boy persuades Anjana to go for a drive with him, and the jeep breaks down. Some thugs chance upon the hapless girl and try to molest her. Sugunan arrives there and saves her. He fights with the thugs but they attack him. The police then arrives and saves them. Alarmed by the situation, Sugunan and Bindu are reunited and live happily ever after.
