The movie starts with a writer MN (Prem Prakash) asking his maid for her story, citing that every human has their own story, which is worth telling.

From selling homegrown organic fruits and vegetables to selling eggs from her hens, she does everything possible to gather enough money to pay Charu’s fees. She somehow manages to pay her fees on time, saving Charu from further embarrassment. In fact, she’s poor enough to not buy a bag for Rs 5 but will do everything possible to get money for her daughter.

Unconditional motherly love

Then comes the entry of the daughter, Charu (Rebecca Santhosh). Surabhi’s character’s whole world revolves around her daughter Shalu and her ailing father (Balu Narayanan).

Although hesitant at first, Charu’s mother starts gathering money to fulfill her daughter’s dream, unaware of the fact that she was lying to her. In fact, Charu was eloping with her lover Sudhi (Suresh Prem). A mother who yearned to get a glimpse of her daughter who stayed in the hostel was now on a mission to fulfill her daughter’s dream.

An endless struggle

The simple fact that she was ready to sacrifice all that she had, just to bring a smile to her daughter’s face proved just how much Charu meant to her. The most incredible thing about Charu’s mother was that despite being a downtrodden woman, she was never a victim. She fought against sexual harassment, fought for her daughter, and fought every moment to just survive.
