Plot

Subhash Chandra Bose, aka Kochu Kurup is forced to leave his hometown as he is mistaken for the lover when he tries to help his friend elope with the daughter of Unnithan, an influential localite, and is caught. His parents send him to Bangalore to meet his best friend Kartik, aka Aniyankutty, who is a rich womanizer. Aniyankutty, pretending to be Kochu Kurup goes to meet Kochu Kurup's father’s friend's daughter, Shalini. There, he meets Shalini's friend Pappi aka Padmaja and introduces himself as Karthik and falls in love with Pappi. One day while driving the car Karthik hits a woman and drives away without helping her. Kochu Kurup comes across the accident and noticing that no one is helping the woman takes her to the hospital and leaves Karthik's name and phone number as he does not have an address in Bangalore. The woman in the accident was Pappi's aunt and she mistakes Kochu Kurup as the one who hit her aunt. She calls him and threatens to sue him. When her aunt wakes up and tells Pappi that Kochu Kurup is the one who saved her, Pappi calls him and apologies. As they talk on the phone they fall in love with each other and decide to meet. While Karthik and Kochu Kurup waits for Pappi at a bus stop, Karthik finds out that his Pappi and Kochu Kurup's Padmaja are the same person. From then on Karthik sabotages all the attempts made by Kochu Kurup and Padmaja to meet each other. Meanwhile Kochu Kurup's father brings a marriage alliance to him, but he says that he is not interested, not knowing that the alliance is with Pappi herself. However, Kartik gets to know this, and he helps Kochu Kurup to cancel the wedding.

Kochu Kurup and Pappi try to elope before the marriage, unaware that the marriage scheduled for them was with each other. Aniyankutty stops Kurup on the way with the help of Unnithan's thugs so that instead of Kurup he can reach the railway station and take Pappi with him. But Pappi's family intervenes and Aniyankutty is beaten by the thugs. Pappi reaches the railway station and waits for Kochu Kurup, but when he does not show up Pappi tries to commit suicide walking down the railway track. Kochu Kurup shows up late and tries to find Pappi, but he is not able. Then he realizes Pappi is going to commit suicide and runs to save her from the train, but he is far behind. Aniyankutty wakes up from being hit by the goons and sees Pappi walking down the railway track and the train closing in. Aniyankutty runs and saves Pappi from the train just in time. Kochu Kurup thought Pappi was dead, but as the train passes by he sees that Aniyankutty saved her and explains everything to her. Pappi and Kochu Kurupp unite as Aniyankutty leaves to Bangalore.
