Plot

The protagonist of the film, Kuttan, is a 30-year-old man, but he has the intelligence of a 10-year-old. People call him Karumadikkuttan as he is dark. Everyone has affection for him, and he too is always ready to do anything for anybody in the village. The remuneration that he gets for any job somehow is never above five rupees. But he works really hard when he is terribly hungry just for the sake of this meagre amount. And he has no complaints against anybody. People even ridicule him. But he thinks only of the positive aspects of things and has no grudge against anybody. He is in love with his cousin Nandini, a college student. Neelakandan is the village landlord who is a cunning man and has grabbed all the wealth from Nandini's father a few years back. Neelakandan has a son Sekhar, who is a womanizer.
