The story goes like this - Uttaman (Jayaram) is an orphan who made the police station his home when he was seven years old. Every body in Pullaromkunnu police station adores him. Whenever a new officer takes charge, Uttaman wins them over with his innocent nature and he is of great help to them. When the new circle inspector Jayaraj (Siddique) took charge, things take a different turn. Jayaraj an upright policeman, orders Uttaman to get out of the station. Knowing that Jayaraj’s only weakness was his mother (Kaviyoor Ponnamma) Uttaman wins her over and he becomes her favourite. She treats him like her own son. Uttaman is in love with Gowri (Sindhu Menon), a village girl. Her stepbrother Asokan wants her to marry the notorious Alex (Meghanathan). How Uttaman with the help of Jayaraj solves the mess and gets married to Gowri forms the rest of this stale story.

Uttaman could have been a lot better if Razak’s script and characterisation was a little better. Still go for Jayaram’s comedy, which is first class. Newcomer Sindhu Menon is promising.
