Plot
Rashid is an expat who has spent several years working in the Gulf. He and his wife Ayisha have two children: the eldest son, Fatah, and the youngest daughter, Fasna. Rashid's Arbab has assigned him the construction of two Uru. He wants his son to join him in the construction of Uru, but Fatah is more interested in music. After returning from the Gulf, Rashid visits the Uru construction site and meets the head carpenter, Sreedharan Aashari, and other carpenters. Rashid's friend Assainar approaches him one day with a desire to make him a partner in Uru construction. But Rashid tells him that Arbab will not consent to this.
Meanwhile, Fatah's friend Alwyn is hospitalized due to drug addiction, and an inspector from the Beypore police station visits Fatah's house and questions his friends about him. Rashid is concerned about the delay in receiving money for the Uru construction. The police inspector visits the construction site and informs Rashid that Fatah should appear at the police station the next day. Rashid comes home upset, gets angry with Fatah, and beats him. Sreedharan, on the other hand, is struggling to properly pay the carpenters. The carpenters decide to stop Uru's construction since they have not received their wages on time. Sreedharan tells his problems to Achuthan, the assistant head carpenter.
Rashid learns of Arbab's death over the phone one day, which worsens his health problems. Sreedharan meets Rashid at home and takes him to Uru yard. Rashid tells Sreedharan about his struggles and financial problems. Sreedharan informs Fatah about Rashid's financial problems and that his house is going to be confiscated. Bhaskaran, the owner of the timber mill, comes to Rashid's house and asks him to return the amount of timber bought for the construction of Uru. Rashid tells Ayisha that he returned the money to Bhaskaran by pledging the house. Rashid approaches Assainar and requests financial assistance, but he refuses. Rashid also meets his friend Sakkir but does not receive the expected financial assistance.
Rashid meets with the bank manager to talk about the loan he took. But the manager informs him that the amount has increased significantly, including the interest, and the next day Rashid's house will be confiscated. At night, Rashid left the house without telling anyone and attempted suicide by jumping from the bridge into the Kallayi river. But, at the time, a few people passing by saved Rashid and brought him home.
When Rashid and his family begin to leave their home, Sreedharan arrives with Fatah and Ansar Ahmed, the secretary sent by Arbab's son. Arbab's son informs Rashid through a video message that there has been some delay due to his father's death. He also says that the construction of Uru should be completed soon and that the money for it will be given shortly. Sreedharan tells Rashid that Fatah is the reason for solving all the problems and that he should end his separation with his son.
