Plot

The movie begins with the arrival of Ramamurthy, a man who has been newly employed as a school teacher, at the house of his friend, Raveendran "Ravi", where two other bachelors, Pavithran and Mathew Ninan Koshy, live. Mathew is promiscuous, and one night, when all of them are drunk, they place a bet on Mathew to woo the woman they choose with 10,000 rupees in return for it. Ramamurthy, after great difficulty, points out a woman they see in a temple. Kamalu is a young Tamil woman who is married to a relatively old man, Soorya Narayana Iyer. Kamalu falls for Mathew. Pavithran shows him a woman named Rosemary, who takes longer to fall for him, but eventually does. To continue the relationship, he breaks up with Kamalu. Raveendran decides to play a trick on Mathew by asking him to seduce his fiancée, Ashwathy, whom he thinks will not fall for Mathew and will end his promiscuity. Eventually, Mathew makes Ashwathy fall for him, making Raveendran angry. He apologises and breaks up with Ashwathy after Raveendran tells him the truth. He decides to marry Rosemary, but fails when she disagrees. The film ends with the marriage of Raveendran and Ashwathy and Mathew and Rosemary.
