Synopsis

Mazhamangalath Narayanan Namboothirippadu is the head of a prestigious Mazhamangalam family. His elder son is Mazhamangalath Kunjikuttan and younger son is Mazhamangalath Devadathan Namboothirippadu, popularly known as Saivar Thirumeni. His friends are Kunjappu and Neelakandan who believe Saivar more than anyone else. Saivar looks after their estate at Kunthapuram in Karnataka and people there call him Saivar Thirumeni, out of respect and love.

One day, Narayanan was honoured by the villagers for winning the Kendra Sahithya academy award. One of the elephants named Ganeshan turns violent but is calmed down by Saivar. He is appreciated by the villagers for saving the people from the violent pachyderm. Saivar knows from his friend Kunjappu that the elephant was turned violent by their family rivals. Saivar goes to meet them and gives them a final warning.

Later he goes to church where he meets his friend Fr. Kuruvithadam along with orphans. Even as a Brahmin, Saivar looks after the orphans. Saivar sings a melodious Christian song to the orphans. He meets Annie at the church. Annie is the daughter of Fr. Kuruvithadam's brother. Annie has come to that village to learn Kathakali. Saivar's sister Bhaama is also a student at the school. Annie and Saivar quarrel at the beginning. As the story moves forward Annie learns from Fr. Kuruvithadam that the orphans were looked after by Saivar which leads her to fall in love with him. She learns more about him from Bhaama.

The next scene shows Saivar meeting his cousin Mithran. Mithran seeks help from Saivar to save him and his friend Sam from Paappachan. Saivar once saved Paappachan from an accident and they friends. Mithran cheated Paappa in their business deal and Saivar was unaware of this. Saivar sets out with Kunjappu and Neelakandan to solve the issue with Paappa. On the way Paappa's goons attack Mithran, but Saivar fights back and goes to meet Paappa at home. Saivar solves the issue, but Mithran quarrels with Paappachan again which ends the friendship of Paappa and Saivar. Paappa warns Saivar not to believe Mithran but he does not want to mistrust his cousin. Mithran's aim is to destroy Saivar's family as his mother who was Narayanan's sister was sent out of their family for loving a man of another caste. Also during their childhood, Saivar caught Mithran stealing their family goddess's statue which leads Mithran to run away. Mithran wanted to avenge this.

He finds a photo of Saivar along with a girl named Sreekutty. This is shown to Narayanan by Mithran and when asked about it Saivar lies that he does not know who the girl is. He is beaten up by Narayanan and sent out from the family. This breaks his relationship with Annie. Later it is proven that Sreekutty was actually Narayanan's daughter who was born to his lover Martha during Narayanan's youth. Saivar was keeping this a secret as he has given his word to Martha that he will never tell anyone. Saivar kept his word. At the same time, Mithran plays many foul games to destroy the family. He plans to kill Sreekutty and blame Annie's brothers. He kills Kunjikuttan with an elephant. At last, Saivar learns that Mithran was behind the problems. Saivar fights Mithran. Mithran is killed by Kunjikuttan's elephant and the family is reunited.
