Vishnu doesn't want to go, a local pizza owner tells Vishnu and his friends that the village is brothel.Thottampuram is really a sacred village and the pizza owner hopes that all of them will get into trouble in the village. Vishnu along with his friends start their trip to the village.At the same time Divya (Asin) and her classmates also visits the villge for their social activity course.Because of Vishnu's visit, the village head allocates Divya and her  friends to stay with poor families, reserving the large village building for Vishnu and co.

Vishnu and his friends are greeted by the village head and they start to see Divya and the girls, whom they mistake for Thottapuram's prostitutes. When Divya discovers their plan, she and her friends decide to teach Vishnu and his friends a lesson. They also want to ensure that Vishnu and his friends leave the large building so Divya and her friends can occupy it.At the evening after the local festival gets over Divya and the other girls decides to teach them a lesson by leading them to the bedrooms. Vishnu's friends are injected with a substance like monkey's blood, which makes them itching all over the body.

Vishnu refuses to sleep with Divya, saying that he doesn't want to make a big one by sleeping with heranh he asks Divya to leave her profession and Divya lies to him, saying she can't, as she has to support a family that is crippled with various diseases. On hearing her life Vishnu offers Divya money so she can start a new life, but Divya refuses once again, saying she doesn't need a new life.Divya says that she cant get a good name in the society after choosing this profession. So Vishnu agrees to marry her in the village temple. Divya doesn't believe him, but Vishnu says he will be there to marry her the next day.Divya doesn't come, however, and Vishnu and his friends see her leaving on a bus bearing the name of the girls' college. Vishnu and his friends now know they have been tricked and the girls weren't really prostitutes. When Vishnu returns home, Shivshankar discovers that his son has fallen in love. With his influence, Vishnu and Divya get engaged.

The turn in the story comes through the 3rd character of Ajit. When the preparation for the marriage of Vishnu and Divya is on full-swing, Jeeva (Ajit as the younger son), who looks just like Vishnu, creates a ruckus in the well-planned marriage arrangements.

A series of issues happen in against os Vishnu and Sivashankar believes that his son has done all and worng things and punishes his son and sends him to a mental check up. Jeeva makes his entry and it is revealed that he was responsible for all the incidents happened. It is known that Jeeva hates Shivshankar for leaving Jeeva's mother (Kanika).In the mean time, Divya meets Vishnu in the hospital and says that she believes in Shiva. After divya leaving the hospital, Jeeva enters Vishnu's roon and beats him and takes over his identity and goes to kill Shivshankar. The father notices that it's not his son and gets out of his wheelchair in order to defend himself. At the time Vishnu arrives at the scene, surprised that his father is able to walk and demands an explanation.

Now the flash back starts Shivshankar tells him that he once was a dancer who, due to dancing, gained a reputation of being effeminate. His mother had arranged for Shivshankar to marry her friend's daughter, (Kanika). He agreed but Jeeva's mother rejected Shivshankar for being too feminine. Shivshankar, enraged, raped her, a deed that resulted in a pregnancy. The doctor refused to give her an abortion and so Vishnu was born, because Vishnu's grandmother wanted the child. Shivshankar takes his child from the mother saying that this child would be the only hope and reason of his life. Shivshankar confesses to Vishnu that he is ignorant of Jeeva's existence and the reason for his resemblance to them.

Jeeva escapes and threatens to kill Shivashankar and tries to stop the  the wedding between Vishnu and Divya. Shivshankar tries to stop him. Finally, Jeeva's grandmother comes out of hospital, explains that Jeeva is also Shivshankar's son and Vishnu's twin and that Kanika went mad when Jeeva was about to get hit by a lorry. Jeeva realizes that he was trying to kill his father without hnowing the truth. The police misunderstand that  Jeeva is pointing a gun at Shivshankar and the police try to shoot Jeeva. Shivshankar intervenes and is shot instead.

Jeeva is then arrested. In the house Jeeva's mother does not accept food from anyone, then Vishnu comes dressed up like Jeeva and feeds her.The movie ends with ends stating that Shivshankar is their godfather.
