Act 1:
The film begins with Vavachan's sudden demise, leaving his family devastated. His son Eeshi (played by Chemban Vinod Jose) wishes to give his father a grand funeral as a mark of respect, despite the financial struggles the family faces.

Eeshi's daughter, Penny (played by Kainakari Thangaraj), a budding singer, prepares to perform a song at her grandfather's funeral.
