Anikkuttan is a service mechanic who repairs all electronic devices from home. He is not mentally stable after his father Radhakrishnan hung himself to death when Anikkuttan's sister Sandhya eloped with her lover Deepu on the night before her wedding. Anikkuttan hates his sister and refuses to talk or even let his mother go there. The reason for the hate is not just his father's death, but also that Deepu is from a lower caste. Anikkuttan hates his neighbor Suni for the same reason and has frequent fights with them when Suni's newborn daughter cries in the middle of the night and disturbs Anikkuttan's sleep. The government releases public service announcements that everyone should move to shelter homes. Anikkuttan refuses to go, stating that it is just a publicity stunt from the government and that he has to share amenities with other castes. Anikkuttan gets an invite for Suni's baby's 28th day ceremony. There, he gets particularly upset because his mother gifts a gold bangle to Suni's baby without asking him; this makes his relationship with Suni's family worse. That night, the rain gets worse, and Suni and his family decide to move to a shelter home, but Anikkuttan refuses to go and says he will stay back with his mother. But soon after Anikkuttan goes to bed, a landslide happens in that area, and he gets trapped under the soil.
