Spoilers ahead
Karumadikkuttan (Kalabhavan Mani) is a 30-year-old man with the gentle soul and humor of someone much younger. In the village, his dark complexion earns him the nickname Karumadikkuttan, yet his warmth and willingness to help anyone in need earn him unwavering affection from the people around him. He accepts whatever little work comes his way, earning no more than five rupees for a job, and he works especially hard when hunger gnaws at him, driven by a simple desire to contribute. He carries no bitterness, even when he is teased or looked down upon, choosing instead to focus on the bright side of life and the good in people. He loves his cousin Nandini, a college student, and his loyalty to her becomes a central thread of the story.
