The film starts off with Vaishakan, an aspiring film director, telling his dreadful story to a film producer named Achayan. Achayan tells him that the story is not worthy of being a film and he cannot produce it.

He has a Government job. He gets suspended for not submitting files, as required. He decides to focus on his film during this period. As it is, he is working in the office because his late father insisted. People refuse to hear his film script, they taunt him for his lack of sincerity at work and his failure in being a director.People even protest in front of the office, for him to be dismissed. The head intervenes and announces that he shall take a five-year leave without pay.

After this, the film shows the jovial life of Priyadarshan, a village simpleton, who lives doing all the work around the rubber farm, and grows and sells fruits and vegetables. He also teaches in a nearby high school, takes tuitions to meet hus family's basic needs. His father had comitted suicide due to financial trouble and the family finds it difficult to marry off his sister. He promises his mother that he will pay off all those loans. He then receives the employment letter on being temporarily appointed at the Taluk Office replacing Vaishakan on a leave vacancy and is overjoyed. Priyadarshan is over sincere in his work and goes beyond his jib. He starts cleaning the office. The city people find his ways amusing. He then meets his humorous roommate, Kannappan in his lodge. Priyadarsan talks a lot that too in a peculiar slang and is highly idealistic. He falls in love with Meera, who lives next door, thinking she is the maid. But in reality,she is the daughter of the house.

At the office, one day Vaishakan comes in saying he has dropped his dreams of being a director and wants to cancel his leave and resume his job there. Priyadarshan becomes upset and goes to see Vaishakan and promises to help him get a producer. He makes changes in Vaishakan's script by making it heart touching about a father and son who live in a poor household. Achayan agrees to produce the new story. There on Priyadarshan and Meera meet quite often. One evening Meera's father informs her that his friend's son and family is coming over to see Meera for a proposal. Meera gets worried and refuses to get married. Revathy tells Meera's father about Priyadarshan and he is unhappy.

Priyadarshan gets upset and goes to his office asking some if his co-workers to Meera's house with him to show Meera's father that he has people who care for him too. (Priyadarshan still believes Meera is a poor maid at that house.) There, the Head tells Meera's father that it isn't right to marry off the maid to a wealthy man. Meera's father says that Meera is hus daughter not the maid. Priyadarshan didn't believe it, until Meera admits it. Hearing this, Priyadarshan is in tears and asks her, "so you were cheating me, weren't you?" He apologizes to Meera's father. While Priyadarshan is about leave he says with tears in his eyes that he has never lied to anyone and that he doesn't have many dreams but marrying Meera was the only dream in his life, which has been destroyed. He leaves saying that he won't come to disturb them again.

Then there is a confusion like Vyshakhan developing a liking for Revathy thinking she is the daughter of the house. Vaishakan comes to Meera's house asking for Revathy's hand, but leaves when he realises she is not the daughter of the house.

Achayan asked Priyadarshan to direct the film. He tells him that he knew the script that was presented to him was Priyadarshan's story and Achayan offers some money in advance for Priyadarshan to do the film. Also, Achayan says that Malayalam Cinema needs directors with good will. Priyadarshan replies if he takes this money and do this film. He'll have the money to pay back his father's loan but he wouldn't be a person, if he takes away the film from Vaishakan. Vaishakan realizes Priyadarshan's pure heart. Priyadarshan leaves to his home in Thonakkad. While there he gets annoyed by comments by local people that he cheated the girl in the city. While reaching home he sees Revathy, the one saying that she is his girl. He then tells everyone this is not his girl. He realizes that he didn't fall in love with Meera as she was a poor maid, but for the person she is. He sees a crowd of people and one man says that we all know that she isn't your girl, and they make way for Meera, her father, Vaishakan, the Head and Achayan. The Head says that Priyadarshan fell in love with Meera thinking that she was poor but she loved him knowing that he is poor.That shows she is in love with him more than he is in with her. Then Priyadarshan and Meera are seen going back to the city (implying that they got married) and there Vaishakan's car and production crew passes b. Vaishakan and Achayan wave at them and they wave back as the film ends.
