Plot

The film is about a cowardly man named Pappachan, a jeep driver and farmer. His father, Mathachan, popularly known as Moustache Mathachan, is a hunter. He is highly respected and admired in his village. But his son Pappachan is just the opposite of him. He is a coward and lacks courage. However, he has a habit of bragging and boasting. He tries to earn the same respect and attention from the villagers as his father does by portraying himself as a heroic figure.

Despite all his efforts, he fails to become a hero in the eyes of the villagers. All of them start calling him a bragger. He claims that one day he will hunt down a buffalo but fails in this too. His bragging skills bring him a lot of trouble one day. One of his lies makes things worse for him. He hides to save himself from the forest department officials and the police.

What is this lie that brings so much trouble to Pappachan? Will he be able to overcome this trouble?
