01Plot

The story begins with Vasu, the father of Vasoottan, rescuing passengers of a bus which had fallen from a bridge into a flooded river. During the rescue, Vasu drowns in front of the onlookers including his friend Prakashan, his wife, and his child while trying to rescue a kid. Then the story moves over to Vasoottan, an auto-rickshaw driver, who is a helpful person possessing good qualities like his father. He helps anyone who is in need. Sabu is Vasoottan's friend and one-time goon who got reformed due to Vasoottan's influence. Vasoottan helps Sabu to marry Vinitha, his love interest.

One day, a girl named Parvathy hires his auto to go to the Wadakkanchery Railway Station. After a few days, Prakashan's son informs that a girl had come to their studio and had inquired about Vasoottan and also about the accident that took place a long time back in which Vasoottan lost his father. Vasoottan's friend, Sabu, speculates that it was Parvathy. Later, Vasoottan receives a call from Parvathy and asks him to come to her house to meet her father. Sabu and Prakashettan make a bet stating that Parvathy loves Vasoottan and had called him to fix their marriage. Vasoottan goes to her house and gets to know that they had called him to seek his help to deliver 100 Jamnapyari goats to a foreign firm. Parvathy's father who is a struggling businessman pleads with Vasoottan for his help, and he agrees to help them to deliver the Jamnapyari goats on time (within a period of 12 days). Sridharan, Parvathy's father's rival, tries different ways to get their business to fail with his money and muscle power.
