Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Vishnu (Mohanlal) is a prisoner who has escaped from jail after being sentenced to death. He is a photographer, and accidentally kills his wife. His son is suffering from a chronic illness. He escapes from jail to amass money for his son's medical treatment.

Kalyani (Renjini) is the daughter of a rich man, and her lover ditches her once he comes to know that Kalyani's father won't give her a penny. But her father changes his mind, and plans to meet her. Her uncle Kaimal (Nedumudi Venu) gets worried because her father has a weak heart, and if he happens to know that her daughter's lover deserted her, he may suffer from a cardiac arrest. They cast Vishnu as the 'acting' husband. After some initial quarrels, Kalyani starts admiring the goodness in Vishnu, and love blossoms between them.

The warden from the prison (M.G. Soman) is searching for Vishnu in the meanwhile, and finally locates him. Vishnu confides to Kalyani, and she keeps his child in her custody. He then goes with the warden to the prison, where the gallows await him.
