Plot

Mohanakrishnan and his friends create disturbance for the music composition happening in the neighborhood and they get arrested on the complaint of the lyricist, Kaithapram Damodaran Namboothiri. His guru Gopalan begs Kaithapram for forgiveness and gets them released. Kaithapram sends Mohanakrishnan to Ravamavarma Thampuran for a better job and for learning Carnatic music. There he meets Sathyabhama, a college going girl who makes her living by making and selling pappadam. He falls in love with her at the first sight.

Ramavarma appoints him as the Keezhshanti (sub priest) of the temple there as the Shanti (chief priest), Ramappan was ill and couldn't manage everything alone. His charismatic personality attracts the women of the locality to the temple, thereby increasing the collection of the temple. The next day he starts learning Carnatic music under Ravamavarma Thampuran.

One night, Mohanakrishnan who resides inside the temple hears some sounds but ignores it. The next day he finds a candy wrapper in front of the deity, Lord Krishna's idol. After a few days, Sathyabhama enters the temple at night and offers the candy and prays. Her relatives come to the temple in search of her, but she hides inside the Sreekovil. Her relatives leave from there. She opens up to Mohanakrishnan that whenever her cousin Surendran comes to her house, she resides in the temple as he had once tried to molest her. He allows her to reside there for that night. The next day, he informs her that he would lock the way through which she enters the temple. He confesses everything to Ravamavarma who then suggests not to lock the way as she doesn't have any other choice. He also says that she is like his own daughter and offers an amount to Mohanakrishnan who then leaves to his hometown with that money.

He returns after two days. That night both of them open up about their love inside the temple. She starts visiting the temple daily at night and leaves early morning. One morning, a crowd of people find that both resided in the temple the previous night. When they come out, Ramappan out of his fury, beats him and breaks his Poonool. The crowd beats them up and the Police arrest them on Ramavarma's order in order to protect them from the public. From there they go to his house.

Surendran takes Bhama with him and on the way Mohanakrishnan tries to save her. Surendran beats up Mohanakrishnan badly and he falls in front of some god idols carved in stone. But when he sees Bhama being dragged away, he gets up and fights back and defeats Surendran. Mohanakrishnan and Bhama goes hides in the temole.
