Lyrics

Parayaathe ariyaathe ne poyathalle
Maruvaakku mindaanjathalle
Oru nokku kanaathe ne poyathalle
Dooraekku ne maanjathalle..

Sakhiye ne kaanunnuvoo
En mizhiyil nirayum nombaram..

Innumoorkunnuvoo veendumoorkunnuvo
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu

Innumoorkunnu njaan ennumoorkunnu  njaan
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu

Parayaathe ariyaathe ne poyathalle
Maruvaakku mindaanjathalle….
Oru nokku kanaathe ne poyathalle
Dooraekku ne maanjathalle..

Priyane ne ariyunnuvo
En viraham vazhiyum raavukal..

Innumoorkunnuvoo veendumoorkunnuvo
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu

Innumoorkunnu njaan ennumoorkunnu  njaan
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu

Kandu thammil onnu kandu
Theera mohangal thedi naam…
Melle swapnam poovaninju
Maaya varnangal choodi naam
Aa varnamakave vaarmazhavillu pol
Maayunnuvomal sakhi….

Innumoorkunnu njaan ennumoorkunnu  njaan
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu…

Innumoorkunnu njaan ennumoorkunnu  njaan
Annu naam thangalil piriyum raavu…

Parayaathe ariyaathe ne poyathalle
Maruvaakku mindaanjathalle..

Udayabhanu (Mohanlal) is a hardcore worshipper of films and a talented assistant director, who learns to write and direct his own film at a time when the industry is filled with dubious filmmakers. Rajappan Thengummoodu (Sreenivasan) is a rather crooked friend of Udayabhanu and an aspiring and failed actor.

Udayabhanu finally prepares to shoot his first film based on his own script, he discovers to his horror that Rajappan has stolen his manuscript, and filming is underway with Rajappan playing the leading role, which eventually propels him to stardom. Udhayabhanu soon finds himself faced with a career and personal crisis, with his faltering relations with his actress wife Madhumati (Meena) contributing to the latter. She leaves the house later after Udayan causes chaos in the house after getting drunk, saying that he lost everything.

Later, with the help of producer Babykuttan (Mukesh), Udayabanu prepares to direct another film, but he is forced to cast Rajappan as the hero since he was the star with most market value at that time. Rajappan takes up the offer, since he is also at a plateau of his career, but refuses to co-operate and throws tantrums and causes maximum trouble when possible. He spends most of his time actively flirting with the actresses in the film.

Towards the end of the shoot, using a perceived insult as a ruse, Rajappan leaves the set leaving the film half way with the hope that this will destroy Udayabanu’s career for ever. But Udayabanu devises clever tactics and shoots the remaining scenes with Rajappan without him even being aware of it.

At the end, the film is a critical and box office success, which also saves Rajappan from his damaging career, Rajappan realises his mistakes, admits publicly that Udayabanu is the real star and not himself and apologises to Udayabhanu.
