Plot

[edit]

Satyanathen is a teacher at Vivekodayam School, Thrissur. His wife, Priya, is a bank employee, and they have a fourteen-year-old son, Bhaskaran. Satyanathan is an alcoholic. After school hours, he can be seen with his friends in the local bar or at thekkinkad maithanam where they play cards. He is dissatisfied with his life and wife. He befriends some young men of the new generation whose lifestyle tempts him. During an outing to a beach, he reveals to his newly formed friends that he is in love with a girl called Neena Kuruvila whose thoughts and personality match his.

Priya learns of this while logging on to his Facebook account without his knowledge. She then tells her close friends who suggest she take him to a rehabilitation center. Priya is not interested in any experiments and is disgusted with his behaviour. She files a joint petition for divorce and both sign it. They decide to live separately until the six months given by the court to settle for their divorce. Satyanathen decides to live on the first floor and Priya lives on the ground floor with Bhaskaran. After some time, he notices a man dropping by to see Priya every day and becomes jealous.

One day Neena decides to meet Satyanathen at the beach side. She asks for four lakh rupees as help and flirts with him. He gives her the money, not realizing that it's a trap. Later on, Satyanathen realizes that she is fake and has been taking money from many men outside and doing illicit affairs when the news about a raid flashes on TV.

Bhaskaran has been telling the flashback to a doctor while he collapsed after running from police. The son sexually abuses his female friend and saves it in a pen drive. Priya discovers that her son is a porn addict and Sathyanathen also finds it and thrashes him. Finally, Dr. Augustine brings Bhaskaran back to his home where he sees his friend, Neha, and breaks down. Satyanathen consoles him. At the family court, Priya and Satyanathen get divorced and expect them to change while living in the same house but separately. At the end of the movie, Satyanathen and his son Bhaskaran take an oath that they will change for good and Priya will return to them.
