The film[3] is based on organ transplantation. Hero Jayanarayanan (Unni Mukundan) is a Brahmin boy from a financially poor family. On the other hand, Lal is a Muslim man from a financially sound background. Lal is suffering from kidney failure and is in need of a kidney transplant. Jayanarayanan[4] is in need of money for his marriage and agrees to sell his kidney. Meantime Lal's near relatives don't want him to continue to live, as they will get his property and money after his death. The relatives delay the transplantation by saying that an organ from a 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. Jayanarayanan agrees on the conversion, as he badly needs money for the marriage. In the end, Lal is no longer alive when Jayanarayanan comes to Lal's home soon after converting to Islam. In the climax, Lal, before he died, had already given a cheque to his servant for handing over to Jayanarayananfor the pain he took for getting his marriage done. The film showcases the evil beliefs of society and religion. The film comes with some thrilling moments, emotions, and songs.
