Puram Jayasurya, starring Mohanlal in the leading title role along with Shanthanu Bhagyaraj (in his debut of Malayalam film), Nithya Menen, Lalu Alex, Vijayaraghavan, Jagathy Sreekumar and Salim Kumar in supporting roles.

Maradonna messes up his life by getting into company of friends and starting an internet café that fails after a group of goons destroys it and to recoup his losses and attracted by ‘easy money’ he gets into drugs.

As he is about to jump, he is held back by a divine force in the form of Angel John, who offers him a new lease on life.

When Kadar Moosa tries to win a world record by holding breath underwater, he gets caught in a fishing net and dies without getting out.

The next scene takes us to Maradonna, being an obedient boy who listens to his parents, while Angel comes to Rajan's house and saves him from committing suicide.

A critic from Sify praised Mohanlal's performance and noted the film's effective blend of sentiment, comedy, and action.
