Aanachandam

Krishna Prasad (Jayaram), an elephant-lover, has his life revolving around elephants & temple festivals, to the detriment of his own life where he is constantly in penury & is treated as irresponsible by his own family. When the famous captive elephant of his village, Manpulli Arjunan, meets with an accident & his owner decides to put him down, Prasad takes up the care of the elephant in return for its ownership, which worsens his already bad financial situation.
