He received his diploma in automobile engineering. He is jobless, but is not trying to find a job. He is active in the church choir and a drama group.

Bhavana (Samyuktha Varma) is a young girl from a poor family. She works to support her mentally unstable mother. She goes door-to-door selling various products. Roy, who was looking for a heroine for a production, bumps into Bhavana, who is willing to take the role because she needs money. Slowly he falls in love with her. He later marries her against his father's wish and Thoma asks them to move out.

Roy and Bhavana start their married life in Bhavana's small home. Roy soon begins to feel the difficulties of life. He is too lazy to work and Bhavana starts earning for the family. They get no help from Thoma.

Roy meets movie directors and writers. One of these directors (A. K. Lohithadas) has a car breakdown. Roy helps to repair the car. The director advises him to go into vehicle repair, leading Roy to start a successful career in that field.

Meanwhile, his family goes through tough times. Paul suffers losses and his bank is closed down. Thoma loses the money he had deposited in the bank for the marriage of Lisy, his youngest daughter.

gollark: *Would* you die? I assume you would just have some debt which they'd have to pay eventually.

gollark: I don't really trust governments to decide exactly what I "need".

gollark: I don't think you can blame it on just that. The American system appears to also have lots of bureaucracy, and indirection which reduces the incentive to have low prices.
