Plot summary

Kunjumon lands up in Kochi with an infant in hand. He approaches a teashop owner Thomas Kutty, with a recommendation letter, who says there is no scope for him there as the shop is on the verge of closing down. By the time the credits end, the business has turned around and the infant has grown up. The boy grows up to be a strapping young man Alby, dancing on the beaches of Goa with his father and a bunch of dancers for company. Kunjumon is now the owner of a successful catering firm, managed by his former employer Thomaskutty. Everything is hunky dory and things stay in a comedic vein; the inkling of conflict comes in the form of a vow taken by Alby that he will not marry a girl who laughs at his father. As luck would have it, Alby falls in love with Ancy, whom he spots in a shopping mall, and they get married. But things do not move smoothly, leading Kunjumon to ostracization from his own family and to contemplating suicide. Kunjumon is taken to the hospital, the doctor says that his head is seriously injured, which will cause some changes in his afterlife such as he will not remember anyone, and he might behave like a child. He creates many havoc to Alby and Ancy such as spoiling their first night and hiding their baby boy in a bag. Due to this Ancy leaves him to her home with her baby. The next day Alby takes Kunjumon to a mental rehabilitation centre to cure him but when Alby leaves with Thomas Kutty, Kunjumon follows them and meets with a road accident where he regains his memory. One day Ancy's father Colonel Varghese goes to the hospital and tells the doctor all the cruel things that Kunjumon has done to Alby and Ancy. Varghese forces the doctor to kill Kunjumon so that he won't create any problems for Alby and Ancy but the doctor refuses. Kunjumon who gains consciousness, hears all this including Kunjumon trying to kill his own grandson and becomes sad. The next day, Kunjumon goes missing. When Alby and Thomaskutty searches for him, the doctor reveals to Alby of Varghese's plan of killing Kunjumon. He angrily goes to Ancy's house and confronts her father. But he doesn't know where is Kunjumon and he did the option for Alby and Ancy. Along with Ancy, they goes to search Kunjumon but they couldn't find him. Alby goes to Biriyani Mohammed's home whose right hand was Kunjumon. Alby was glad to hear the Kunjumon regained his memory. He begs Kunjumon to come back but Kunjumon refuses as he couldn't face their baby and the problems he did to them. Alby hands over their baby to Kunjumon and he kisses the baby and they all reunite. After 7 years, their baby grows as a teenager and he plays football with Kunjumon. He kicks the ball and when Kunjumon catches it, he flew to the sky.
