Plot
The story revolves around Vijayan Joseph Muhammed, a unique person who owns a pet shop. He had come to this place years back with a circus troupe. The pet shop is a concern to many of his neighbours. Kalesh is the MLA of this particular constituency and the next election is nearing. While attending the first holy communion of Abraham's daughter, Kalesh's wife Chithra abducts one Macaw. And the pet owner gets the video of Chithra in which she takes the parrot. As for the circumstances they allow him to stay in their home for the sake of elections. One day Vijayan is offered a job but he refuses it and cites that he is not feeling well. The next day, Velu tries to wake up the pet owner after his phone beeps but he doesn't get up. He is declared dead. Everyone from the local neighbourhood mourns and weep from Vijayan's death. Finally, Kalesh sends off the man's Macaw to an unfortunate girl, who had earlier wished to have it. Then Kalesh and Chithra go home.
