When Ambika becomes pregnant, Balachandran realizes that his wife is carrying a daughter, and not a son.
Later, he meets his old classmate and best friend, Padmarajan, whose wife Hema is also pregnant, bearing a male child. However, their babies are swapped by mistake by Balu's mother soon after the delivery. Both Padmarajan and Balu must keep this as a secret to see their children. When Balu's relatives discover this, the babies get kidnapped by the antagonists.
The soundtrack of Aadyathe Kanmani was composed by S. P. Venkitesh, with lyrics penned by S. Ramesan Nair and I. S. Kundoor. The film features a mix of original compositions and resung versions of classic Malayalam songs.
