Plot

The story commences from the house of Vishnu, a 17-year-old, who is raised by two mothers Meenakshi, a renowned writer, and Padma, a researcher in Bharatnatyam art form. They are born feminists and strong-willed women who decide to have a child through artificial insemination, and thus Vishnu happens.[3] The story features the friendship between a father and son. Maanikunju was living his dream when the 17-year-old Vishnu walked into his life. With some hidden intentions, Vishnu befriends Maanikunju and his friends. But the nature of his father leaves him surprised. Another person, Shankaran Nampoothirippad, acts as a tool between the two. What follows next forms the rest of the story.
