Plot
This article needs an improved plot summary. (September 2020) |
Kunjalikutty, who is a Muslim gets both a visa to
Malappuram Hajiyar is a bold and religious man having a huge public appeal, with no tolerance towards deception. Thus people approach him with awe. Hajiyar's code of conduct scares Joji to the core that he has to conceal his own identity while living as Kunjalikkutty's impostor. A hilariously hostile relationship develops between Joji and Aliyar, who is the physical education teacher, and later, Joji's roommate. Joji soon gets into the good books of Hajiyar, while Aliyar remains stuck in the rut of being too slack for a teacher, for instance, coming late for the school.Aliyar and Joji have a rocky start as room mates and colleagues .
Things do not go easy for Joji. He nearly blows his cover at times, which triggers Aliyar's suspicion. On one such occasion, he is accidentally confronted by Gouri, who hails from a reputed Hindu family, when he goes to the temple and is caught by her and the priest. The story enters a serious turn, when Kunjalikutty shows up, telling Joji that he has become a victim of a visa scam run by Jafer Khan, who now targets Kunjalikutty to finish him off. Also trouble comes in the form of Premalatha Usha who was one of Joji's old students married to the canteen owner who lives right next to Joji. Premalatha is married to Pattalam Sukumaran Premkumar who is a hot tempered and a highly paranoid soldier on leave .He is further incensed when Aliyar talks ill about Joji's character to Sukumaran. Premalatha one day spots Joji and is happy to see her old tutor . Joji pulls her aside and makes her understand that he is living under the false identity of Kunjalikutty. Their conversation is heard by Aliyar who is hiding behind and cant wait to tip Hajjiar in a bid to get Joji thrown out disgracefully.Sukumaran on the other hands sees His wife and Joji having hushed conversation and assumes they are having an affair . Sukumaran in a fit of anger gets his gun and tries to shoot Joji who is trying to reason with Aliyar . The bullet mistakenly hits Aliyars neck and renders him mute till his surgery .
