When Appu’s (Badusha) mother (Shobhana) dies, his rich businessman father Balu (Mammootty) drowns his grief in drink. During a vacation, a temporary governess brings Appu some solace until he sustains a serious head injury. It appears that only the dead mother can cure the boy’s medical condition by patting him on the head. This rekindles the relationship between father and son. The enjoyable first half of the movie, with its lively and mischievous scenes and several lullabies, is aimed at children.
