Autorsha

Anitha makes her living as an auto driver in Kannur. Her auto rickshaw adventures with passengers, as she travels around Kannur, form the crux of the story. Anitha buys a new auto rickshaw and goes about her life. Her day-to-day life in the auto stand is shown, but nothing is revealed about her family or her house.

During a wedding, Anitha meets her school classmate, and they rekindle their friendship. From there, flashback shows that Anitha is actually Haseena, and she had a loving family. She falls in love with an auto driver named Manoj and wants to marry him. Her father is against this, so they elope to Mangalore, taking the gold her father had saved for her future.

In Mangalore, they rent a house and decide to sell the gold and start a bakery business. While they come home, they realise that their house has been robbed. Going to the police also does not help. In a few days, Manoj deserts her, and from the neighbours she learns that he has cheated many girls like this, and he has planned the robbery.

Disheartened, she goes back to her home and father, where her sister is due to get married in a week. Fearing another scandal due to her return, her whole family kills itself. Haseena, unable to go on with her life, decides to kill herself, but changes her mind. She does many small jobs and saves enough money to buy an auto rickshaw, changes her name to Anitha, and starts a living.

One of her acquaintances, Shyam, hosts a birthday party for his daughter, and Anitha offers to cater for the function. There she sees Manoj as a guest who is also the business partner of Shyam. Anitha had known that Manoj and Shyam were business partners from the picture in Shyam's office, and also seen them together from a previous job as a toll booth employee. She also comes to know that Manoj married a Kannur-native woman six years ago and their school-going son Achu has travelled many times in Anitha's auto-rickshaw.

Anitha confronts Manoj when no one is around, but he scorns her, telling her she is just a woman, and he is unafraid of her. He even goes to the extent of saying that he will keep doing what he did to her to other woman, and his current marriage is also a sham. She then secretly fatally poisons his alcoholic drink, which he was to drink. He dies the next day. A content Anitha is seen driving off in her auto rickshaw, singing to herself.
