Premise

[edit]

Peethambaran is unable to contest in the upcoming elections, urges his niece Malavika to run for Panchayat president. The question looms: will she agree to his plan? Understanding the predicament she's in, Malavika and her aunt hatch a plan to deliberately lose the election. In a twist, she turns to Psycho Balachandran for assistance. Later Malavika accidentally becomes the Panchayat president of Perilloor Grama Panchayat. This unexpected turn of events sets the stage for a captivating tale filled with humor.

Malavika had been in love with Sreekuttan since childhood. During their school days, she decides to propose him and creates a letter, with the drawing of a dragonfly as a dragonfly was present when they first met and when he helped her to get up, and hence she considered dragonfly as an integral part of their love story.

The day before Malu proposes him, he decides to watch a blue film when his parents are asleep. But hearing the sound of a crowd around, he runs outside, forgetting to switch off the television and his parents catch him red-handed. His father beats him up and the crowd hears the reason for it. The next day, everyone in the school teases him with the word "thumbi" (dragonfly) as the blue film he was watching was "kinnarathumbikal" That is when Malu gives him the letter and he assumes her to be mocking him and slaps her.
