Dileep’s long associate and friend director Thaha’s Ee Parakkum Thalika was supposed to be a slapstick comedy but it turns out to be a half baked ‘Avial’ of many films. Thaha and screenplay writer V.S.Gopalakrishna wanted to make Dileep do comedy popularised by Mohan Lal in his early films. What Mohan Lal and his sidekick, Srinivasan / Jagadish did earlier is being repeated here by Dileep and Harisri Asokan.

The story is about Unnikrishnan (Dileep) a young guy who roams around Kochi in an old dilapidated bus. When his father gets killed in a road accident, he sues the owner of the vehicle who offers him a bus as compensation. Initially he is happy about the idea of being a bus owner, but soon he realizes that it is not easy to run a bus. He ends up selling his house and other belongings to run the bus for marriage parties. But in no time everything comes to an end, as the papers and documents of the bus were not correct and later he converts the bus into a trailer home. His constant companion and cleaner of the bus, Sundar (Harisri Asokan) is his only solace. One day they wake up to find a girl Basanthi (Nitya Das) sleeping in the bus. The girl refuses to leave the bus, inspite of constant efforts of Unni and Sundar. But soon they realize that the girl was none other than Gayathri the only daughter of a minister in Pondicherry (P.Vasu). The poor little rich girl had to leave her home, as her father wanted her to join politics. But soon she is tracked down by police and taken back to Pondicherry. Unnikrishnan realises that he cannot live without her and goes to her house where she is getting ready marry someone, her father has chosen. Unni and Sundar sneak into the minister’s bungalow and finally win over the girl’s father after a lot of slapstick comedy.
