Plot
Plachottil Kuttan Pillai is a strong-willed policeman who lives a contented life with his wife, Sub-Inspector Shakunthala, looking after his backyard farm. They have three children, all married and settled. A party of his relatives - his children, their spouses and the extended family - converge at his humble home to attend the annual Shivarathri festival attached to the famous Shiva Temple in the neighbourhood. Yet, the festive mood is soon embroiled with selfish objectives of the sons-in-law, blowing off Pillai's peaceful domestic life. A son-in-law, Suneesh, intends to cut down a huge jackfruit tree in Pillai's backyard to make furniture for his new house, but Pillai protests. Suneesh fights Kuttan Pilla and he leaves the house along with his wife and children. The next day, Pillai dies when a jackfruit falls onto him while taking a stroll around his backyard. He becomes a ghost and, along with some other ghosts, watches what is going to happen in his house after his death. Meanwhile, Kuttan Pillai learns that the other ghosts died in the Puttingal Temple Fire accident, which occurred on Shivarathri day. Suneesh tries to fell the tree soon after Pillai's funeral, much to the worry of his apparition. His wife, however, stops him from doing so with a stern warning, leaving behind a happy Pillai.
