Jayadeva Sharma hails from an aristocratic Brahmin family. However, his family's fortunes disappear as his parents die, and he is fostered by a goldsmith. Eventually, he is betrayed by his friend, Ananthapadmanabhan, a man who he thinks is Aathira's boyfriend. To get his money back, he disguises himself as a sage with the help of his friends, Hariprasad, Bahuleyan, and Premadasan and gets into the house of Aathira's grandfather, Kunnamanagalam Neelakantan Vaidyar, as a guest.

Jayadevan and Aathira's friendship blooms after he saves her from Balagopalan, who is a cousin of her. Premadasan ends up falling in love with Vasumathi who is also a cousin of Aathira. Near the climax on Aathira's wedding day, Jayadevan is held hostage by Ananthapadmanabhan and is saved by Premadasan. In the end, Aathira's fiancé is caught, and Aathira and Jayadevan unite.
