Plot
Sivaramakrishnan Nair (Nedumudi Venu) leads a happy life comprising his wife Omana Kunjamma (KPAC Lalitha) and five children. His eldest daughter Sandhya (Karthika) is good at playing pranks. Omana Kunjamma wants her to marry Purushu (Sreenivasan), the son of her elder sister; he runs an antique shop. On a vacation, Sivaramakrishnan Nair‘s childhood friend Lt. Col. C. Appuni Menon (Girish Karnad) visits them following his retirement from the defense force. Nair, a fun-loving person does not want his friend to leave him and offers he stay at his home. Appuni Menon is a strict disciplinarian bachelor who initially finds it difficult to get along with the atmosphere of the house. However, with time, he makes friendship with the children and gets accustomed to the life. In due time, Sandhya falls in love with Appuni; he finds it difficult to refuse. Upon knowing the relation, Sivaramakrishnan breaks down and orders Menon to leave the house. Despite all efforts, Sandhya refuses to give up her love and opens up with Purushu for support. Purushu, with a broken heart, convinces Sivaramakrishnan to accept the relationship between Menon and Sandhya. Appuni Nair has left the home, drinks heavily and picks up a fight in a bar. He is terribly assaulted by a bunch of youths. Broken down, Menon commits suicide. Unaware of what has happened, Sandhya is in a triumph mood after her father’s decision. All of a sudden, an army vehicle arrives at the house with the dead body of Menon. The officer hands over a letter which was found with Menon for Nair. Menon apologized for the pain he caused his dear friend. Sandhya breaks down mentally and is seen lying down with Menon's uniform shirt in the background.
