After his father's death, his mother marries Zachariah. Manu gets fed up with his life, as Zachariah is always drunk and tortures Manu and his mom. So Manu fights with him and leaves home. He thinks he could become a murderers if he stays at home. Meantime, Jiya also leaves her home, after a fight with her mother. She goes with Manu. Manu advises Jiya to go back home many times, but she didn't agree with him. Simultaneously, Jiya and Manu were becoming very good friends but society misunderstood them and considered them lovers. Her uncle the City Police Commissioner Abi and his teams search every corner for them. At last, a drunken young college mate Willy attacks Manu, and in order to save him, Jiya stabs Willy in the stomach. He dies in the hospital. Willy's friends and police follow Jiya and Manu. Jiya realises her mistake and surrenders herself to police and also saves Manu from Willy's friends. The movie ends showing Jiya staying in Jail.
Sify.com wrote "In all fairness, the fact that there is a storyline with some messages in the film. As you come out of the theatres, the immediate feeling will be that things could have been really different with better visuals, haunting music, and a tighter script. On simpler terms, Vellathooval would have been an okay movie, if it had come at least two decades ago!"[1] Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote "In conclusion, Vellathooval is disappointing considering there are veterans like director I V Sasi and writer John Paul associated with it."[2]
