Sunderasan Nair and Soudamini, both are from wealthy families. Soudamini is concerned about her brothers Keshavan and Vasu who live together with Kotha, while Kotha is jealous of Soudamini. Soudamini invites her brothers to stay with them, but Kotha's sons Bargavan and Sekhar are teased by Soudamini's sons for their lack of manners and sense.
Kotha becomes more jealous, and one day Soudamini slips on a banana peel that was thrown by Kotha's son. The injury results in Soudamini developing amnesia, ceasing to recognise anyone she knows. One day Vasu murders Sunderasan, resulting in the house finally belonging to Keshavan and Kotha. Sekar grows up and becomes a doctor, but Bargavan and Shubha are brought up as servants.

Soundtrack
The film's songs were composed by K. J. Yesudas, with lyrics by Yusufali Kechery. Yesudas, as usual, composed tunes after the lyrics were written, except for the song "Rasoole Nin Kanivaale". For this piece, director Kunchacko referred him to an Arabic song and recommended that he compose a Muslim devotional track in the same scale. In Athisayaragam, his biography by Ravi Menon, Yesudas noted the irony that such inspirational songs often became more popular than his original works. The song blended qawwali and Mappila musical traditions, with lyrics serving as a hymn to the Prophet Muhammad. The song became widely successful among Malayali audiences. Shajan C. Mathew, author of Yesudas' biography Ithihaasa Gaayakan: Yesudasinte Sangeetham, Jeevitham, called it Yesudas' most successful composition. Background score was provided by Guna Singh.
