Although time has come for him to shoulder the responsibility of providing for his family, he runs away from it and is least concerned about what life means to him. Maanu flees his native place to Mangalore in fear of his life, after witnessing the gruesome murder of a local political functionary. The interaction he has with Saira (Rachana Narayanankutty) following a chance meeting with her has a bearing on him and influences him to change his outlook towards life.[http://www.yentha.com/news/view/features/movie-review-ain-malayalam-kudos-sidhartha-siva-job-well-done "Movie Review - Ain: Malayalam: Kudos Sidhartha Siva; Job Well Done!"].
