Synopsis

Anpu (Appukutty), who leads the group of young men in the village, are heavy drinkers and smokers. His wife, family friends, and the villagers opposed his lifestyle and forced him to stop excessive drinking. His wife is pregnant and about to give birth. Anpu holds the belief that alcohol is the only source of enjoyment in life. He lives irresponsibly, following his own whims without regard for consequences. One day, his life took an expected turn, and he witnessed how society perceived him, his social responsibilities, and the value of life.
