Plot
Kunjoottan (Sreenivasan) is an innocent young man living in a remote village. He is the only heir to his rich, aristocratic parents, Thamburan (Nedumudi Venu) and Kunjulakshmi (Sukumari). He cannot stand his overprotective father, who is concerned about his son because he had a bad dream about his son's death. The family astrologer Panikker (Oduvil Unnikrishnan) confirms this and predicts that it will be difficult for Kunjoottan to survive the age of 30 and that he is in great danger from motor vehicles. Worried Thamburan hires two ex-Mahouts Valiya Raman Nair (Kuthiravattom Pappu) and Cheriya Raman Nair (Mamukkoya) to protect Kunjoottan, which further annoys him.
Enter Ramachandran (Jayaram), a childhood friend. He is back from town with colourful stories about city life. He is in urgent need of money to pay his debts from a failed business. He tricks Kunjoottan into stealing money from his father's safe so that they can run away and enjoy life in the city. By the time Kunjoottan discovers his friend's true intentions, he loses all his money to tricksters in the city. Ramachandran tries to get rid of Kunjoottan since his innocence was landing both in trouble.
Later, they kidnap a girl named Asha (Suparna Anand) whose stepfather M.R.C (Thilakan) had hired three men to kill her. After learning about her sad past, both Rama and Kunjoottan decide to help her instead. But Kunjoottan's father is hell-bent on finding his son. Asha's father hires a professional killer named Christopher Luke (Suresh Gopi) to kill Asha. After a series of comic mishaps, the killer is captured by police inspector Abu Hassan. Kunjoottan reunites with his father.
