The village's wrestling champion Kunjachan (Balaji Sharma) challenges Prakashan to fight. He happens to meet Parvathy (Prayaga Martin) while returning home. She pleads him for a place to stay that night since her relatives are not available. Prakashan brings Parvathy to his house. His mother started treating Parvathy as her "daughter-in-law" though Prakashan narrated the truth. As days passed, he falls in love with her. Eventually, Prakashan defeats the wrestling champion Kunjachan. While proposing his love to her, Prakashan is shocked to know that Parvathy is a ghost and his friends also confirm the same.
