The film is based on the battle exploits of Kunjali Marakkar IV, the naval chieftain of the Samoothiri. Kunjali Marakkars organised the first ever naval defense off the Malabar Coast of India against the Portuguese invasion, for almost a century.

The story revolves around the relationship between an orthodox, aged, old fashioned father, and a robot, which is gifted to him by his son. The resulting tale is a classy interaction between emotional and programmed minds.
