Plot

Dr. Muralikrishnan, a successful city dentist, leads a double life as a womanizer and conceals his affairs from his wife, Treesa, by labeling female contacts under male names in his phone. When Treesa discovers the deception and confronts Murali, he leaves both her and their daughter, Lakshmi. Treesa then becomes a driving instructor to support herself. Meanwhile, Treesa punishes Ranjan Philip, a womanizer who continually harasses her, by forcing him to strip naked in the street, confiscating his clothes, and locking them in his car. Peethambaran and his wife, Premila, lead a comfortable life with their children, Malavika and Madhavan. However, due to Premila's extreme possessiveness, Peethambaran quits his lucrative job in the Gulf and returns home to constantly escort her. He develops an inferiority complex, leading to frequent arguments and their eventual separation. Rehna, a lawyer, is forbidden from practicing her profession by her orthodox husband, Noushad, and his family. She leaves him and begins working independently.

Gopakumar, alias GK, a garment exporter, enters the lives of the three separated women. He has bought the house where Treesa lives. Unable to evict Treesa and her daughter to establish his office, GK attempts to reunite Treesa and Muralikrishnan. During this process, he meets Premila and Rehna, who happen to be Treesa's friends, and decides to help them as well. The film follows how GK, aided by his fashion designer Kamala and land broker Immanuel, successfully reconciles the estranged couples
