The story is about the conflict between two brothers who share the legacy of "Malayalam Shabdam", a newspaper company owned by their family, the Ezhuthupura Tharavadu .

To add more fuel to the family feud, Appan is manipulated by their company's sinister manager Anantharaman who has ulterior motives to fulfill by capturing the newspaper firm.

The innocent love between Aniyankuttan and Sudhu and Appan's interference in their relation to gain the empire and lady upon the corrupt advices of Anantharaman is accurately depicted in the film.

We also get to see the escalating differences between Aniyankuttan's flamboyant and modern mother, who whiles away her time playing rummy and partying with her friends in the ladies' club and supporting her elder son's dictates, and his intellectual and down to earth father- who considers that his life is incomplete without writing.

How the younger brother wins his grandmother's and their newspaper's rich legacy by becoming a wealthy liquor baron to take back the company from the hands of Anantharaman is the rest of the film.
