Plot
Manu Krishnan is a male nurse in a reputed hospital. He is the son of Ratheesh Kumar, a junior artist in films, and Lakshmikutty, an ex-singer and a judge in a reality show. He has a special relationship with Dr. Priya, but is also in love with Leena, the star contestant in a popular music reality show (where Manu's mother is one of the judges). Manu goes in search of a job and arrives at an Agraharam to take care of a mentally ill patient. A girl from the Agraharam, Bhama, falls in love with him. Now the three girls want to marry Manu but neither of their parents want to have Manu as their son-in-law.
