Plot

Unnikrishnan (Dileep) owns an old bus,[7] received as a compensation for his father's road accident and he is facing lots of consequences due to the pathetic condition of the bus. He sold many valuable things to maintain this bus. His friend Sundareshan (Harisree Asokan) was his only companion and the cleaner of the bus. A mouse had eaten the passport of Sundareshan and had spoiled his chances of going abroad. Some part of the film's comedy involves Sundareshan running behind this mouse for his revenge. A live TV show, in which Unni bad mouth of a Traffic Sub Inspector, Veerappan Kurup (Cochin Haneefa) lands him in more trouble, when the former commands Unni to leave the city with the bus. Sreedhara Kaimal (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) an advocate and well wisher tries to him help him with a bank loan to run a mobile kitchen (Tattukada) from his bus.

The plot took a turn when a girl named Basanthi (Nithya Das ) entered the bus as a nomad, but she was actually Gayathri, the daughter of an influential and politically powerful minister R. K. Santhanam (P. Vasu) in Puducherry. Her father forced her to join politics, which made her leave home. Initially, the girl refuses to leave the bus, despite the constant efforts of Unni and Sundareshan. The police trace her and take her back to her father's custody.
