Synopsis
[edit]The movie centers around two main characters, Sathyapriyan and Prince. It begins by introducing Sathyapriyan, a middle-aged man in a dire financial situation. He is seen spending time drinking with friends when he is faced with a crisis—his mother is hospitalized, and only his sister (Minimol) is by her side. Desperate to cover her medical expenses, Sathyapriyan seeks help from friends and relatives, but due to outstanding debts, no one is willing to lend him money. Finally, a man named Sojan agrees to help, but on the condition that Sathyapriyan provides a guarantee cheque. The two plan to meet the following morning to exchange the money and cheque.
Sathyapriyan arrives at the bus station to wait for Sojan. However, Sojan gets delayed for several hours due to an urgent matter, and Sathyapriyan agrees to wait. At the bus station, he encounters Prince, a wealthy but aimless and careless young man. Prince, often drunk, spends lavishly without thought and is estranged from his family, particularly his father, who has cut off financial support. Despite his reckless nature, Prince invites Sathyapriyan to join him on a spontaneous bus ride, convincing him that waiting for money is pointless. Reluctantly, Sathyapriyan agrees.
Their journey takes them to a place familiar to Prince, where they visit a large clothing store. It becomes clear that Prince is there to meet a woman named Hema, his former girlfriend. However, Hema, disillusioned by Prince's constant drunkenness, refuses to see him. The store staff also dismiss Prince for the same reason. Sathyapriyan speaks with Hema, who tells him she will only meet Prince when he is sober. That night, Prince and Sathyapriyan check into a luxury hotel, where Sathyapriyan enjoys the comforts of the room while Prince sleeps off his drunken state.
The next day, Sathyapriyan stops Prince from drinking and takes him to meet Hema while sober. They finally confront their feelings about their past, particularly a major accident they both survived, which left Hema with a lost leg and Prince bedridden for months. Their conversation helps them find closure, and they part on good terms. Prince, grateful to Sathyapriyan for making this happen, continues traveling with him, spending the rest of his money.
As they run out of funds, Prince tries to borrow more from friends and relatives, but his father has instructed everyone not to help him. Meanwhile, Sathyapriyan shares his mother’s dire situation with Prince. Prince, now understanding Sathyapriyan’s desperation, attempts to get his wife (Rini) to transfer ₹50,000 to Sathyapriyan, but she refuses since Prince has been absent from home for days. With no other option, the two decide to go their separate ways, and Sathyapriyan heads back to see his mother.
However, Prince soon returns with a rented car, offering to help Sathyapriyan by driving him to the hospital and attempting to secure funds. They visit Prince’s sister and her husband who is the Mayor of Kochi, but they too refuse to help. With no money left and the driver growing frustrated, Sathyapriyan contacts Sojan again. Sojan lends him only ₹10,000, of which ₹7,000 goes to the driver, leaving them stranded on the road. Despite Sojan urging Sathyapriyan to abandon Prince and focus on his mother, Sathyapriyan refuses to leave his drunken friend behind.
They spend the night sleeping by the roadside, and when they wake up, they realize they are near Prince’s house. The two part ways, with Sathyapriyan boarding a bus to see his mother and Prince heading home. But just as Sathyapriyan departs, he receives a message that Prince’s wife has transferred ₹50,000 to his account. Overjoyed, Sathyapriyan rushes back to Prince, and they share a moment of happiness as the movie concludes.
