Plot

Allimoola is noted for its passionate volleyball supporters and a great former history of players that is now only a memory. During each year's volleyball event, the villagers place secret bets on which team will win. Because of an event in their school days, Kavalam Jimmy (Asif Ali) and Vattathil Bosco (Narain) are always at odds. In an impending yearly game, both of them stake their sisters for marriage. The entire community participates in the bet and organizes volleyball teams. Bosco employs Minnal Simon (Biju Menon), a pathological debtor with some early negligible experience in the sport, to coach Jimmy's team to failure. The police officer Jimmy had a fight with and was on bad terms with is the one Bosco chooses to lead his team. Bosco pays off Jimmy's university players in the finals, and Simon vows to demonstrate his integrity. Circumstances force Jimmy and his buddies to fill in for their squad, and they win the game using some methods from Simon's playbook. Bosco gets a hint from Jimmy's sister that she likes him and he is content. Jimmy ends up with Bosco's sister, with whom he had developed a sort of affection, while Simon departs with Jimmy's female sponsor.[6]
