The story happens in a government school that had a glorious past but is now on the verge of being shut down as there are fewer than 60 students enrolled there. The teachers have no hope about making a difference to the situation and are busy with their personal activities.
Into this situation comes a young teacher Vinayachandran (Prithviraj Sukumaran), who makes a difference. Being a new teacher to the institution, it is unknown to all that he is the son of the school's former headmaster, who became a dishonor after all the students of the school failed in the SSLC exams and died heartbroken.
All lyrics are written by Anil Panachooran except where noted; all music is composed by M. Jayachandran.
