==Plot==
{{More plot|date=March 2021}}
Muhammed is sincere and generous. Having lost his father at a young age, it becomes his responsibility to look after his younger sisters and mother and he does everything he could. Though he couldn't succeed in his love life, he is a happily married elderly whose major goal is to go for Hajj. According to Islam, Hajj is one of the five pillars and all Muslims who fulfil 'certain' conditions must perform Hajj at least once in their lifetime. And the certain conditions includes spiritual fitness and being emotionally happy. He makes sure to reconcile with his brother, seek forgiveness from his friend and even meets up with long lost love. Muhammed meets all these conditions and is jovial enough for the trip until the fateful night, when he encounters the stranger in his house Krishnan.

The 2nd half of the movie moves with Krishnan (Dileep) and his love interest Sreeja (Anu Sitara). Some incident (robbery) which happened in the past boomerangs back and affects the life of Krishnan and Sreeja.

Though the 1st half looks bit lengthy but the way how it is being handled to show case the importance of Muhammad trying to reconcile with all his relatives and friends (even with his class 7 friend Indrans are classic moments).

Muhammad meets Suhara(Asha Sharath) his youth time lover after 30+ years. His entire family now receive Suhara with lots of love and affection. Also the love, loss and reunion between Muhammad and Suhara comes to an end in a beautiful note.

The movie ends with beautiful message.
