When they come on vacation to their father’s (Vijay Bhaskar - Mammootty) home, they make an attempt to bring back their mother by going on a fast for an indefinite time. Even though this attempt fails, Vijay is forced to give a brief description of the physical appearance of their mother. They also know that their mother lives somewhere in Bangalore.

When they hear the next day about their father’s business trip to Bangalore, they forcefully accompany him. During their stay, they successfully trick the caretakers and go on a search for their mother. When their father comes and finds that the children are missing, he gets a phone call from the children saying that they found their mother and they are at her house (House No. 1, Love shore, Bangalore North and hence the movie name). He goes there to find the children with a rich lady named Hema (Priya Raman), who was mistaken by the kids as their mother due to the similarities with the description of their mother given earlier. Hema, who developed an instant liking to the children, pretended to be their mother so as to make an attempt to bring them to their original mother.

She also asks him not to enquire more about her, which he agrees.

Things get worse when on the journey back to school on the last day of the vacation; they learn that the vacation is extended for one more weak owing to the extreme weather in Ooty. Hema disagrees to continue with the drama and leaves the family, leading the children to believe that their parents are on a fight again. The children follow Hema pleading not to fight.

Things get twisted when Anu falls ill on the same night and Vijay watches the love and care that Hema have for his children, leading him to propose to her, to marry him.
