Sachidanandan (Dileep) runs an antique shop in the Jewish street at Kochi. He is famous for old Gramophone records. Sachi hates music, as he believes that his father has not made any money out of it. Aryadevi, a famous singer, who has been given her first break by Raveendran, comes to Kochi from Bombay with her daughter Pooja (Navya Nair).

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
One of few Indian films documenting Kochi's vanishing Jewish community; the street itself was largely demolished after filming.
Kamal allegedly cast Dileep specifically to subvert his comedy-star image — the anti-casting works because audiences expected laughs that never came.
