Plot
Jayanarayanan is a Brahmin boy from a financially poor family. On the other hand, Haajiyar is a Muslim man from a higher financial background who is suffering from kidney failure and is in need of a kidney transplant. Jayanarayanan is in need of money for his marriage and agrees to sell his kidney. However, Lal's relatives don't want him to get the kidney transplant, as they will get his property and money after his death. The relatives delay the transplantation by saying that an organ from a Brahmin boy cannot be taken by a Muslim, as it is not religiously correct. They ask Jayanarayanan to become Muslim in order to give the organ. Jayanarayanan agrees on the conversion, as he badly needs money for the marriage. In the end, Lal is no longer alive when Jayanarayanan comes to Lal's home soon after converting to Islam. However, in a twist, it is shown that before Lal died, he had already given a cheque to his servant to hand over to Jayanarayanan for the financial toll his marriage took.
