Spoilers ahead
Sreehari, Mohanlal, the central figure of the story, is forced to leave his village after being convicted of plotting a murder. He spends a year in jail and then many years in Paris, a chapter that leaves him with choices to make and a sense of time running short. He returns home to confront a life tempered by illness—cancer—that makes every moment feel precious and fragile. Once, he shared a deep, hopeful romance with Indu, a bond that Devaki, Indu’s mother, Nilambur Ayisha despises because of the long shadow cast by a painful family history, including her husband’s desertion with a Tamil lady.
