Plot
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.
