Plot

Ravi (Suresh Gopi) is a famous theatre artist. He returns home after thirty long years and finds that his mother is in a coma state following some terminal illness. His guilt feelings and deep regrets of having deserted her forces him to leave his profession and stay at the hospital with his mom.
