Spoilers ahead
Das, Mammootty is a rich and spoiled playboy who drives to his Kodaikanal bungalow with a callgirl, Jaysree, Swapna. The place is looked after by caretaker Parameswaran, [Sankaradi], and his Tamil wife Kannamma, [Mallika Sukumaran]. To shield the family name from the moral gossip that would follow, Parameswaran has told both Jaysree and Kannamma that Jaysree is Das’s wife. Das treats Jaysree as a possession, never missing a chance to belittle her profession, and there is little to no emotional warmth beyond the physical. The atmosphere is tense yet lazy, glossy on the surface but brittle beneath.
