Corona Dhavan

Corona Dhavan

Aanathadam is small village in Kerala with a big population of alcoholics. Most of the inhabitants cannot get by without booze every day. Vinu is an unemployed youth in the village with a mother and elder sister. Their family is actively looking for alliances for their daughter and finalizes a proposal from an NRI. Preparations are underway for the wedding when Vinu's friends demand him to arrange at least 45 bottles of their favorite brand Dhavan for the wedding party. On the night of the wedding, Vinu's sister elopes with his friend Suni, taking away all the gold for marriage. On the same night, the prime minister declared lockdown in the country due to the outbreak of Covid pandemic. Since the marriage or party did not happen and Vinu still has the stock of 30 odd bottles with him, everyone in the village starts calling him for booze. Vinu, who is humiliated and bitter due to the happenings refuses to give the bottles to anyone. He finishes some bottles himself and stows away the rest when he realizes that people have started getting desperate for liquor due to the unavailability and will pay anything for the same. Godson the local don is desperate for liquor, since his brother Gladson, a bigtime alcoholic, is creating a ruckus in his life because of the unavailability of liquor. He tries to get some bottles from the local bar owner but fails when the excise SI Satyajit foils his plans and closes the bar.
