Plot
[edit]The film revolves around the life of a sexagenarian named Sassi Namboothiri. He is a carefree person with no family baggage and a gang of friends for whom he conducts parties at his home every weekend. He is known to the people as an artist and makes his living by purchasing drawings from fine arts college students and selling them at a higher price, with his name attached.
One day, Sassi finds out that he is suffering from fourth-stage liver cancer due to his drinking habit and has only six months to live. Sassi orders a "smart" coffin to be cremated in, and converts to Christianity.
In the end, he is told that the coffin he has chosen is much bigger than regular ones and thus cannot be allowed to be cremated. Sassi, feeling despondent, casts the coffin adrift and walks away.[3][4]
