'Kaanthaari' has a story that is decrepit, and which has already been told in manifold forms. Falling apart right from the start and heading towards doom, here is a film where logic and sensibilities totally go for a toss.

Rani (Rachana Narayanankutty) is an orphan who has been raised by three prostitutes who are way past their prime. She finds it difficult to uphold her modesty in a society that almost expects her to have shed it already, given the upbringing that she has had.

Trying hard to make both ends meet, Rani takes to thieving, along with her buddy Oola (Sreejith Ravi). Her wayward ways catch the fancy of Aamir (Shekhar Menon), an obese man with an orthopedic ailment that will shortly have him bedridden for the rest of his life.
