Plot[edit]

The movie deals with how Radio Mama (Visu) solves the family related problems in the other neighbouring households. Four families are principally involved in this movie. Visu's family consists of his son Prathap Pothen, daughter-in-law Kutti Padmini and their two kids. Visu always causes trouble at home by ignoring household chores and instead focussing on neighbouring household's problems. Ilavarasan's family consists of his wife Aruna and parents Delhi Ganesh and Kamala Kamesh. Aruna ill-treats her in-laws. Dilip's family consists of his wife Seetha and mother M.N.Rajam. Seetha is tortured by her mother-in-law. Kishmu's family consists of his wife Vadivukkarasi, son Ramesh Arvind and daughter-in-law Madhuri. Kishmu and his son are drunkards and do not earn anything for their family.

How Radio Mama solves the different problems of Dowry, Ill treatment of mother and father-in-laws by daughter-in-law, Ill treatment of daughter-in-laws by mother-in-law, Alcoholism in slums, etc with his wit, courage and humour forms the story of the movie.
