A young Narayanan and Moideen along with a group of men travel to Dubai by Dhow in search of a better life. Launchi Velayudhan is responsible for smuggling young men into the Gulf. In Dubai, both Narayanan and Moideen find work as construction labourers and reside with other labourers. They sacrifice their happiness and work hard to earn enough money for their families.
Narayanan regularly visits his home and gifts his family and friends imported items. During one visit, Narayanan informs his wife that he will not be returning to Dubai and will settle down in Kerala to start a business. However, after realising that his family value money more than him and that his wife is afraid of losing her social image, Narayanan returns to Dubai.
Meanwhile, Narayanan's widowed sister Nirmala's daughter, who both live in Narayanan's house is not getting a Bridegroom as she has no money or property. Chandraettan offers Narayanan land which belongs to Nirmala and in return asks him to give his house to Nirmala's daughter. Chandraettan believes that since Narayanan is wealthy, he can build a lavish house for himself and Narayanan happily agrees. Post-marriage, Chandraettan informs Narayanan that Nirmala's son-in-law is interested in renting the house to earn extra income. Narayanan is upset since he lives in the same house with his wife and children. Narayanan decides that he will pay monthly rent to Nirmala's son-in-law.
Many years later, Narayanan's children are now young adults, and are only concerned about Narayanan's wealth and not him.
Eventually, Narayanan passes away and his dead body is flown back to Kerala. His family still does not show any respect for him despite his death. After the final rituals, the family surprisingly see a Television interview of Narayanan, where he reveals that because of him, his family are happy and not in poverty. He never informed his family of the hardships he endured and never felt guilty of working hard because he was earning for his family despite their lack of concern for him. He is satisfied when people smile and is responsible for their happiness. His last wish is to be reborn and have the same family and friends and make them happy.
