Wubly rating 6.9 IMDb rating 7.1

Radha (Seema (actress)), a practicing gynecologist, returns her own house with father, where now a lorry driver Bappu (Mammootty) undeservedly dwells. Expelling Bappu from the house, Radha commences a dispensary there. Bappu, an orphan grown up at a Muslim orphanage in Ponnani, is also a small time goon, but has a good heart. Bappu works for Hussain (T. G. Ravi), a local timber baron, and often resides at his friend Saidu (Sreenivasan (actor))'s house, whom Bappu helps very much. Bappu arranges a job to Saidu at a petrol pump owned by Hussain. Saidu has a one-sided love to Aami (Urvashi (actress)), but she adores Bappu. Kuruppu (Jagannatha Varma) is a business tycoon and politician and is rival to Hussain. Kuruppu's nephew, Das (Devan (actor)), is the ex-husband of Radha, who breaks up after she saw Das making love with another lady and was also reluctant to accompany with the exploitive nature of medical business that Das and Kuruppu lead. Robert (Captain Raju), a driver turned mafia leader of Kuruppu, unlawfully runs a gambling center concentrating a club, where forced prostitution is also prevalent. Hussain hires Bappu to destroy the arrack-producing shelter of a gang under Robert, for the sake of Samuel, a politician turned abkari business man. Bappu, who has also an old revenge against Robert, beats the gang and fires the house.
