On the first day of Thrissur Pooram, he fails to reach on time for the sample firecracker show as he was sent out of the city by one of the organizers of the Thrissur Pooram to buy watermelons. On the second day of the Pooram, his bicycle, that he is very attached to, is stolen. He goes around asking people he works for/ knows for help but no one cares. While he is waiting outside the police station, a local thief asks the inspector why Savaari is sad. After knowing that he is the cause for Savaari's sorrow, he returns the bicycle. Savaari continues his day as usual. An organisation for Autistic children has raised enough funds for a school and has invited its contributors and actor Dileep for the inauguration ceremony. During the event, people present are made aware of the contributions of Savaari for the betterment of the children.
