	Balakrishnan ([[Mukesh (actor)\|Mukesh]]) is a heart patient and works in a bank. He urgently needs a heart transplant and luckily he receives the heart of Aby Mathew ([[Jayaram]]) who has died in a car accident. ~~After the operation~~, Balakrishnan ~~discovers that~~ he ~~can see Aby Mathew while nobody else can. Balakrishnan realizes that Aby Mathew~~ is ~~a ghost~~ and ~~is only visible to~~ him.		Balakrishnan ([[Mukesh (actor)\|Mukesh]]) is a heart patient, yet he drinks and smokes a lot. He works in a bank. He urgently needs a heart transplant, for which he is unlikely to receive a heart and has given up all hope of living any longer.Surprisingly and luckily he receives the heart of Aby Mathew ([[Jayaram]]), a youth who has died in a car accident. The surgery is performed after both families agree to it. Gradually, Balakrishnan recovers from the surgery. Soon after he is discharged from the hospital, he visits the doctor and asks him who gave him the heart out of curiosity. Although initially reluctant, the doctor gives him the newspaper report about Aby's death which contains his photograph.

	~~Aby informs~~ Balakrishnan ~~that he has a mother who~~ is ~~staying with his wife and newborn daughter. He was murdered and not killed in a car accident.~~ Aby ~~had no enemies~~ and ~~wants~~ to ~~know his murderer and bring his killers to justice. He asks for Balakrishnan~~'s ~~help~~ to ~~find who was behind his death~~. Balakrishnan ~~also gets~~ the ~~help~~ of ~~Sub-Inspector Damu~~ ([[~~Sreenivasan~~]]), who ~~at first doesn~~'t believe ~~him~~, ~~but later assists in the investigation in an unofficial manner~~.		While leaving the hospital, Balakrishnan is frightened to see Aby's ghost and he is unable to escape from Aby's hold as he is able to follow him everywhere. Eventually, Aby starts following Balakrishnan at work, the restaurant, hospital and even at home, where he is initially not allowed to enter by the ghost of Balakrishnan's late father Gopala Menon ([[Innocent (actor)\|Innocent]]), who is miserable because he cannot communicate with anyone but ghosts. Balakrishnan tries various methods to drive Aby's ghost out of the house, but all fail and makes everyone believe he has gone crazy. He especially has trouble because Aby is invisible to everyone but himself, and hilarity ensues.

	Balakrishnan ~~discovers~~ that ~~Aby Mathew~~ was murdered a ~~murderer hired~~ by his ~~adopted brother~~ and ~~confidant, Alex Chandanavelil~~ ([[~~Sai Kumar~~ (~~Malayalam actor)\|Sai Kumar~~]]), ~~who has selfish motives~~ to ~~take over~~ his ~~business~~, and ~~realizes that~~ the ~~life~~ of Aby~~'s wife~~ ([[~~Maathu~~]]) and ~~mother ([[Kaviyoor Ponnamma]]) are also~~ in ~~danger~~. ~~At last~~, Aby ~~kills Alex by possessing~~ Inspector Damu's body. Alex ~~is now a~~ ghost and ~~faces Aby~~ but ~~meanwhile, he~~ is ~~taken~~ to ~~the netherworld~~. ~~After that,~~ Aby ~~tries~~ to communicate with ~~Balakrishnan~~ but he can~~'t see him or hear him~~. In the end, a divine light from ~~heaven appears~~ and ~~engulfs~~ Aby~~, and the film ends with the light diminishing~~.		Aby tells Balakrishnan that he was in fact murdered very unexpectedly on a busy road, by a man whom he could not identify, initially using a gun, but he was later run over by the vehicle while he was leaving to see his newborn child. Balakrishnan visits Aby's family- his mother ([[Kaviyoor Ponnamma]]) and wife ([[Maathu]]) with Aby's ghost.

			Damu ([[Sreenivasan]]), a police Sub-Inspector, arrests Balakrishnan believing he is a flirt due to Aby's invisibility. He does not believe Balakrishnan when he talks about Aby's ghost and punishes him even more instead. However, Aby plays a trick on him to make him believe it by visiting his house and he reluctantly does. The character Damu causes significant hilarity at this point, especially because he appears foolish and naive but shows off as though he is a wise and experienced policeman.

			As it proceeds towards the climax, the film takes a serious turn. With the help of Inspector Damu, Balakrishnan discovers that Aby Mathew was murdered by a murderer named Benjamin Bruno ([[Gavin Packard]]). However, Bruno refuses to tell the truth and escapes from prison by acting as though he has fainted. However, Aby follows him and hears him talking on the phone to a mysterious person. Aby hears Alex, his adopted brother, talking on the phone about his murder and that it needs to be covered up. Alex is revealed to hired Bruno to kill Aby and to take over his businesses which he had inherited from their father. Alex murders Bruno fearing that the truth would come out soon. Aby informs Balakrishnan about the matter.

			Balakrishnan approaches Aby's family, who initially refuse to believe it. However, he tells them about Aby's ghost and they do so. The film proceeds to the next scene where Inspector Damu refuses to help them anymore, as he fears he could get transferred anytime for believing in ghosts.

			As the story proceeds to the climax, Alex forces Aby's mother and wife to sign certain documents that make him the owner of all the businesses and assets that Aby had inherited from his father. He kidnaps Balakrishnan and threatens to destroy Aby's heart if they did not sign the documents. Aby decides to save them. He enters Inspector Damu's house and possesses his body. He fights with Alex and kills him. Alex's ghost rises and both face each other, but soon Alex is sent to [[hell]]. Balakrishnan and Aby try to communicate with each other, but they no longer can do so. In the end, a divine light appears from the sky and transports Aby to [[heaven]].

The music was composed by [[Ouseppachan]]. "Mounam Swaramaayi"'s tune was reused in the song "Chitti Kuruvi" in the 2003 film ''[[Mullavalliyum Thenmavum]]'', also composed by Ouseppachan, but the song is a bit western, starting from a hum by [[Unni Menon]] and [[Sujatha Mohan]], both songs are in [[Kalyani (raga)]].{{citation needed|date=September 2020}}
