The movie is more a melodramatic rendition on the lives of a poor, cobbler and his only girl child, played by Baby Diya. ‘Thavalam’ takes its clues from a large number of movies like ‘Bhoothakannadi' to the nineties hit 'Aakashadoothu' to make a storyline for a movie that lasts just below two hours.
Suresh Gopi is Sivan in ‘Thavalam’, an orphan living inside a bus stand at Mayil petty, a village in the borders of the state. He is a cobbler by profession but also does some menial jobs to make a living. In one of his outings, he saves a girl Kanakam (Sindhu Menon) from the grip of some goondas headed by Gouri and in the fisticuffs Gouri kills one of his fellow mates, and is sent to jail. Meanwhile Sivan marries Kanakam, who incidentally is also an orphan. After a year of happiness, she dies after giving birth to a baby girl. Sivan finds his lone living tough but manages to bring up his daughter with the help of local tea shop owner, Panikkar and his family.
Thamara (Rathya), a girl from a gypsy family who makes a living by selling small sculptures of gods, loves him but Sivan doesn’t let her enter his life. With the return of Gouri from Jail, to take a vengeance, Sivan avoids encountering him for the fear of the life of his daughter. But fate has something else in store for him, who has to face the most upsetting twists in his life.
