Plot

edit

Namukku Parkkan reflects the realities of a middle-class Malayali family.[2] Rajeev is a veterinary surgeon and his wife, Renuka, is a primary school teacher. They have two school-going daughters. They lead a happy and contended life and dream of owning a house that is beyond their means. They live in a small rented house and don't have a proper bathroom. One day, somebody peeps in when Renuka is bathing. They have plans for their ideal house, a house merging with nature, with lots of trees and a lovely garden and cattle roaming the compound. All others in their family own houses.

Rajeev is served with a note to vacate the house. He asks for some grace period till he finds a new house. An unexpected incident in his life makes it inevitable for him to build a house. He sets out on a journey to own a house and the realities he encounters in his journey form the rest of the story.[1] C.I. Velu Nagarajan, a Karnataka police officer residing in Kerala, "helps" Rajeev and the rest of the story is the other incidents he faces.
