Ambujakshan (Sreenivasan) at long last gets to meet a director (Manoj K Jayan) and a producer (Sunil Sukhada) to narrate his story 'Chirakodinja Kinavukal', which he hopes would finally be made into a film. He declares that he has made a few changes to the script to meet the requirements of the new gen cinema, though the hero of his tale, Thayyalkkaran (Kunchacko Boban) and his heroine Sumathi (Rima Kallingal) have not changed. As per Ambujakshan’s story, Sumathi falls in love with a local tailor, Thayyalkkaran. Virakuvettukaran (Joy Mathew), her father, a rich woodcutter, is against this relationship and decides to marry her off to an NRI (Kunchacko Boban in a dual role). Since it is seemingly futile to stop the marriage, the tailor tries to commit suicide and gets hospitalized. Surprisingly, the marriage comes to a halt. Therefore, in the end, Sumathi and the Tailor reunite.
