Plot

Avittam Thirunal Narayana Varma, scion of Udayapuram royal family has a daughter named Malavika Thampuratti, who walks out of the palace after falling for Abdul Rahman. Sulaiman, the son of Abdul Rahman and Malavika Thampuratti, is nurtured in Carnatic classical music by his mother. His opponent in college, Unnikrishnan, son of a deceased Brahmin priest is also good at singing.

Unnikrishnan wins a musical competition at college which makes him sing at the famous Chembai Sangeethotsavam, but in a mistake of identities, Sulaiman makes it to the musical gala. He becomes famous among the people due to his singing that the viewers begin to appreciate him a lot.

Sulaiman is forced to go to his grandfather's place to join a religious function. But Gopika falls for Sulaiman instead of Unnikrishnan. In the end, we see that history repeats itself. Will the palace will get a sultan or not? This forms the remaining story of the film.
