Mukundan Unni is introduced as a tantric magician and exorcist, quietly leading a life in a remote village while showing little enthusiasm for his father’s traditional craft. He spends time with two bumbling cronies, drifting through days that blend into one another, until fate nudges him toward a young woman who will alter the course of his path.
There, he meets Malu, a girl who carries the weight of a blank past and no memory of her origins. Despite this amnesia, she is drawn to the enigmatic stranger, and their bond deepens after a few melodious moments that bloom into romance.
