Plot
Vaisakhan (Asif Ali) lives in an unknown land, playing music at the homes where someone has died. He is a carefree youth, who is madly in love with Fida (Madonna Sebastian). His concepts of death and after life have heavily been influenced by his “muthassan” or grandpa, Sreedharan (Lal).
This muthassan is a weird character who enjoys his life, travelling like a nomad. He is a funny character who even plans to make Vaisakhan and Fida fall in love.
Of course, to enjoy the film you have to accept the way the fantasy is being narrated. Once you are ready for that, the journey becomes okay.
