Radha Krishnan, Dileep, is raised as a girl by his grandmother who longs for a granddaughter. She nicknames him Radha, and that name sticks as he grows up, moving through a village that sees him as effeminate. Yet Radha remains unfazed by the whispers, filling his days with the company of girls, singing, and teaching dance. His closest companion is Malu, Gopika, a friend who becomes the spark of his early feelings, while Kumaran, [Indrajith Sukumaran], a local moneylender and the son of the man Radha’s father killed in a past fight, harasses him for his feminine ways.
