	Inspector Ravi marries Sobhana after a love affair and they lead a very happy married life. He is also a very strict police officer. Ravi purchases a saree on behalf of his friend who is in jail and hides this from Sobhana on the advice of Gopi Pillai. This leads to suspicion and Sobhana ~~leaving to~~ her home, expecting Ravi to take her back. However things take a turn when Ravi arrests Jimmy, son of Marcose, against his father in law's (Narayana Pillai) wishes. An aggrieved Narayana Pillai files divorce suit despite objections from Sobhana and ~~appoint~~ Thomachan as his legal counsel. ~~Irony~~ is that Thomachan is a close friend of Ravi and they live in the same apartment. As Thomachan's arguments hurt Sobhana, Ravi agrees ~~for~~ separation to save a pregnant Sobhana from further humiliation. The court adjourns for decree on April 18 and outside the court things take a complete turnaround.		Inspector Ravi marries Sobhana after a love affair and they lead a very happy married life.
