Plot
Col. Ravi Varma Thampuran decides to go on leave for two months and travel alone to avoid depression after his wife leaves him. During his journey, he visits the home village of his subordinate, Manikandan, where he unexpectedly finds himself falling in love with Meenakshi. Consequently, he grants a divorce to his wife. However, he later discovers that Meenakshi is already engaged to Mani. Frustrated and angry, he initially directs his anger towards Manikandan. However, a visit from his estranged wife prompts him to reflect on his actions and acknowledge his mistakes. He then resolves to bring Meenakshi and Manikandan together, despite facing opposition from both families. To accomplish this, he stages Meenakshi's fake suicide. In the final scene, Col. Ravi Varma Thampuran is seen leaving, accompanied by the police, indicating that he is likely facing court-martial for preventing Manikandan from joining the troops at the war front earlier.[4]
