Plot

Prakash Menon (Jayaram) is a successful architect based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. His company's Kochi branch was not doing well and the company relocated him to Kochi to improve things. He was supposed to replace his equivalent in Kochi named Anu Pillai (Suchitra Krishnamoorthi). Anu wasn't happy about the company's decision: She didn't want to move out of Kochi and objected. Prakash in turn to Kochi, understands the office situation, and decides to talk to Anu in person.

Anu is living with her eight-year-old child Chikkumol (Baby Shamili). She is very naughty and Anu is not able to get a caretaker as no one is able to handle her. Prakash falls in love with Anu after seeing her in a shopping mall. He finds from his friend Mukundan that Anu is in search of a caretaker. Prakash reaches Anu's home and takes up the job under the name of Vasudevan with the intention of getting her to love him.

What follows is funny situations where Prakash has to take care of the girl, cook for the family and kids, and hide himself from those at his office. Eventually Anu goes to Prakash's house to request him not to take charge in Kochi and, on seeing him, understands that he had tricked her. But Prakash resigns from his job and appears to have gone back to Thiruvananthapuram. Anu starts to understand his love and feels sad. But on reaching her home, she finds that Prakash is back again as Vasudevan. Thus the movie ends on a happy note.
