The movie has Jayasuriya as a simpleton Kocherukkan and ‘Manickyam’ Mythili as Malli, two youngsters who were abandoned in their childhood in two neighboring rich households, to grow up together and fall in love with each other. They have an intense, easy going relationship where they impulsively land up into any decisions at short notice, like eloping from the village on an uneventful night, when Malli is offered as wife to Chidu (Suraj Venjaramoodu). But their very first attempt to run away is blocked by a cunning policeman Murugeshan (Siddhique). Kochurukkan somehow manages to escape from his eyes by bruising him fatally. This starts the cat and mouse game between the cop and the village lad, which destroys the latter's dreams and lands him behind bars in situations that appear one after another.

Bottom Line

===========

Nallavan - Is Medicore

‘Nallavan’ is surely a missed opportunity to do something far more interesting than to tell a story of potential, surprisingly flat. Had the scripts been sharper as the folks acting in it and the effort taken on it, the movie could have offered much more than Jayasuriya in four getups.
