Gopalan Nair, now in his sixties, finds it hard to continue with his job and calls for the assistance of Ramanan, the president of milkmen association and the only friend of Gopalakrishnan. Even though Gopalakrishnan could not pursue his studies after his sixth standard, he is not ready for any hard work and is only interested in making money the easy way.

Reception
Paresh C. Palicha of Rediff.com rated the film 1/5 stars and wrote, "Uninteresting films like Gopalapur[an]am are making it to the theatres as bigger films release only during Vishu". The critic criticized the film's promotional efforts at tricking the audience that the film was a Mukesh-starrer when he had very less screentime.[2]
