Plot[edit]
Prakashan is an electrician who is a compassionate wrestler in Mallapuram village. Hailing from a family that follows tradition and superstitions, his mother, Sushila, often consults with an astrologer, Manoj, about Prakashan's marriage. Manoj knows about Prakashan's interest in Ashwathy. Manoj's friends, Kochukuttan, Kuriachan, Sankunni, and Shivan, help Prakashan in this matter.
The village's wrestling champion, Kunjachan, challenges Prakashan to fight. He happens to meet Parvathy while returning home. She pleads with him for a place to stay that night since her relatives are not available. Prakashan brings Parvathy to his house. His mother started treating Parvathy as her "daughter-in-law" though Prakashan narrated the truth. As days pass, he falls in love with her. Eventually, Prakashan defeats the wrestling champion, Kunjachan. While proposing his love to her, Prakashan is shocked to know that Parvathy is a ghost, and his friends also confirm the same.
Palani Ashan, a renowned tantric expert found that Prakashan and Parvathy were lovers in the past life. His past life father (who is Manoj's friend Shivan in this life) killed her through his aide. She tries to exact revenge on the people who killed her.
