The film tells the story of a Kathakali artiste Vasudeva Panikkar, who specializes in doing female roles. Being a widower and the father of a six year old son, he effectively lives up as the mother and father of his child. On the course of events, his son Appu, who is exceptionally talented in music, is discovered to be a wonder kid who can point out mistakes in the Krithis sung even by the veterans. From there onwards stars the child's journey to fame and fortune with the able support from media.

Appu who goes to perform his prodigious talents in concerts is projected to international circuit but the fate plays fowl again as he is diagnosed as having a terminal illness. From there everything is predictable fare, with occasional brilliance from Jayaraj. The film tries to match Sankarabharanam, the 80's hit at some point, but fails to recreate the magic and mood of the original. The writer duo Mahesh and Sajeev' has matured from shortcomings of their earlier films, but this definitely cannot be the best of these budding scriptors who will definitely find better openings in near future. The film has a bunch of good classical rendering by Arjun, which makes the lovers of classical music enjoy the flick
