Bharathanatyam 2 Mohiniyattam

The film begins after the death of Bharathan Nair. Sasi along with his family travels to Sreekandapuram to the new house of Rukmini and Ajay. They stay for a few days and meet with their neighbours, including Subhash. They visit the local temple, and pray there, though the local people stare at Saraswati.

Govindan, a friend of Bharathan Nair, as well as the uncle of Subhash, comes to meet them and reveals that the temple and the deity were created with a fake story by Bharathan Nair. Now someone has understood the truth and is threatening to go public with it, unless he is paid around Rs 1.5 crores. The local temple committee has found some of it, but are short of Rs 75 lakhs. He asks Bharathan Nair's family to pay the money or to put the complete blame on Bharathan Nair, saying since he is dead, the others can avoid jail, and gives them two days time to make a decision.

Sasi asks his mother the name of their grandmother and Bharathan Nair's mother, which she says was Mohineeshwari. Sasi goes to the temple and finds that the deity's name is Mohineeshwari Devi. He also finds plaques in the temple with his family's names, and finds that the image of the deity is created from a picture of his mother, Saraswati. Convinced now that Govindan was telling the truth, he tries to stall for time, but Govindan arrives promptly on the second day. He soon figures out that Bharathan Nair has two families and tries to go public to extort more money. To hide him, they cover him with a cloth and hold onto him, but in the process, Saraswati accidentally twists his neck, which kills him.

Subhash who had seen that his uncle was going to Sasi's house, is told by Sasi that his uncle never arrived, though he doesn't believe it. The family, meanwhile tries to dispose off the body, but it is foiled by Subhash each time. Subhash , now convinced that the family is hiding something, starts to keep a closer eye on them. It is also revealed that the temple committee had cheated Bharathan Nair of around Rs 30 lakhs sometime previously, due to which Rukmini had lost her previous house.

To save themselves as well as handle Subhash, Sasi calls the Temple Committee Member Subhash from his hometown. To avoid confusion, they call him Subhash Sr and their neighbour, Subhash Jr. Subhash Jr starts putting out missing posters of his uncle. Subhash Sr suggests a way for the family to get themselves out of this situation by placing the dead body in Subhash Jr's house, to his shock. Subhash Jr later hears from his aunt that Govindan was planning to cheat him as well by robbing him of money. The local temple committee also realise that Govindan was cheating them when the person who was threatening them asks only for a smaller amount. Subhash Jr soon realises who put the body in his house and goes to speak with Sasi and his family. They both realise the only way out of this situation is together and they reach a compromise.

They decide to take the help of Eapen, a local butcher holding a grudge against Govindan. They go to Subhash's house, cut the body into various "kits", dispose off the clothes and slippers, and try to abandon the bags in different places; however, Ajay realizes that one of his kit is missing and informs Arun. Meanwhile, CI Parthan, who gets the missing poster, catches Subhash Jr near the river and follows him to his house. Ajay who was with Subhash Jr, warns everyone and they escape Subhash Jr's house just in time. Govindan's dog Simba who had left home after Govindan went missing, follows them and starts barking near Sasi's house. The CI gets doubtful and searches Sasi's house as well.

The family frantically search for the missing bag, with the doubtful CI watching over them. Arun discreetly reveals to the family that he put the contents of the missing bag inside the pressure cooker gifted by Govindan which is on the gas stove. Sasi now tells the CI that Govindan had discovered his father's two marriages and puts the complete blame on Govindan for creating the fake temple. The local committee also puts the blame on Govindan for stealing money from them. The CI comes to the conclusion that Govindan cheated everyone and escaped with the money.

A few days later, the family is performing the last rites of Bharathan Nair. After the rites, Sasi gives Gopan a bag containing around Rs 30 lakhs, needed for his new job. It is revealed that the extra amount Govindan stole from the temple committee was kept in the temple's donation box and that Sasi and Subhash Jr had broken it a few days ago and split the money. He also reveals that he burnt the contents of the cooker and that ash was mixed with that of Bharathan Nair, which he just sent down the river. The film ends with the shocked faces of the family.
