, called Balanpillai City. Elsamma (Ann Augustine
) is the eldest among 4 daughters of KPAC Lalitha. After her father's death, she started working as a newspaper agent/ local reporter for her sisters. Paalunni (Kunchacko Boban
, talking Christian dialects) is a milkman and close friend of Elsamma who never revealed his love towards her. Kunnel Pappan(Nedumudi Venu) and Elsamma's family share very close ties and stay almost like one family. Elsamma is hardworking and practically runs the family. She works as a newspaper correspondent and delivery girl to earn money for her family. She is also a staunch activist who wants to close the local toddy shop run by a strongman (Vijayaraghavan). This brings her into regular conflict with him as well as the Panchayat member (Jagathy Sreekumar
).
Paalunni confides his love for Elsamma to Pappan who promises to convey this to Elsamma when the time is right. Then comes Aby (Indrajith
, who shed a few extra pounds) & his friends to Balanpillai City. Aby is impressed by Elsamma and proposes to her, but she rebuffs him. Aby tells Pappan and Elsamma's mother that he wants to marry Elsamma. The wedding gets fixed without the knowledge and consent of Elsamma and Pappan does not object, in spite of knowing that Paalunni likes Elsamma. Elsamma later catches one of Aby's friends, Jerry (Manikuttan) in a compromising position with Aby's sister Sherin (Mridula Murali). When Aby comes to know about this, he beats up Jerry. In retaliation Jerry spills the beans about how Aby's proposal to marry Elsamma was just a gimmick to help the liquor baron to get even with Elsamma.
Speed Audios has released the overseas version DVD on the very next day.
