Vanaja, a teacher in the Sociology Department, is trying to get the seat for her son, Shyam Balagopal, who got nine suspensions and seven police cases in the college where he is studying. Principal Elena John gives the seat to Shyam, on the assurance of the teacher that she will take care of his son without causing any problems.

Things were not going well for Shyam, the lone male of three thousand girls. The group, which includes Ann, daughter of PTA President Mathews, Nandana, daughter of Bahuleyan and Susan, tries to smoke Shyam out. A group led by their opponent, Preetha, is in favor of Shyam. Gradually, Shyam and Ann get closer but do not openly like each other. Meanwhile, a fashion designer named Ranjith, seeks Shyam's help to persuade Nandana to model at the Femina Show. Along with his friends Pappan and Ranjith, Shyam break up Ann's marriage proposal with Manuel Abraham. Knowing that Ranjith is in love with Nandana, Shyam brings his friends and Ranjith to college in the name of training children as part of the University Fest. Ann argues with Shyam over the breakup of her marriage proposal to Manuel. Meanwhile, Bahuleyan, who gets photos of Shyam and Nandana interacting closely, sends some goons to attack and warn Shyam.
