The viewers are shown a ‘happy family photo’ consisting of Appachan, Oliver Twist, Kuttiyamma, and their two sons, including Anthony.
The following night, during his sleep, Oliver finally remembers an extraordinary event in his life and tries to talk about it to Anthony many times but in vain.
He starts attending sessions with a psychologist and joins Tai Chi classes, but is heavily criticised by his family members for doing so.
With the help of his best friend Suryan, he crossed a river full of wild elephants, with the woman and her child seated on a huge cooking vessel arranged by them.
The end scene shows Joseph's mother coming to Oliver's home and thanking him and Suryan for saving her son's life after she came to know the truth from Anthony.
The Times of India rated 3.5 out of 5 and wrote, "The movie is a must watch entertainer that the whole family can laugh and cry happy tears all through together".
