Synopsis
Pranchiyettan hails from a rich family that is traditionally into the business of selling rice. But he has an inferiority complex about the fact that he is not that educated. And so Pranchiyettan hankers for social acceptance. He simply cannot understand why people who are less affluent than him can get respectable positions in society.
And so he is always in search of some easy way to get there, with the help of friends like Vasu Menon (Innocent). But sadly for him, that kind of acceptance always eludes him. He hates his nickname, Arippranchi, which he got as a result of the family rice business. To get rid of the nickname he starts a jewellery shop only to have people call him Arippranchi the jeweller.
Padmashri (Priyamani) is a Mumbai-based interior decorator who hails from Thrissur. She invites Pranchiyettan to inaugurate a painting exhibition, after learning about his generosity. It is Dr. Omana (Khushboo), the wife of Dr. Jose (Siddique), who introduces Padmashri to Pranchiyettan. The latter is the couple's former schoolmate. After a while, Pranchiyettan realises the futility of yearning for acceptance. Meanwhile he meets a 15-year-old boy named Poly (Master Ganapathi). Pranchiyettan's interactions with Poly changes his perception of life.
