The film portrays some incidents in Jameson’s life. After visiting Velankanni, Tamil Nadu, a group of Malayali tourists take a bus back to Kerala. James stops the bus at a village in rural Tamil Nadu. After lunch, the tourists are in a sluggish snooze, so they don’t notice it.

Meanwhile, James enters into a house nearby, and starts acting like a member of the Tamilian family, Sundaram. He begins to behave like a Tamilian and speaks in Tamil like a local of the area. It confuses everyone who travelled with him as well as the local people of the village.

Nanpakal Nerathu Mayakkam is released on Netflix
