Sreenivasa Iyer and his wife Thansi Rani are the central characters of this movie. Iyer, who took VRS from his service at AG’s office, is now a right-wing sympathizer, and he is doing all the illogical stuff. At one point, he realizes that his son is planning to move to the Middle East against his wishes, and he also happens to learn that he is in love with a Muslim girl. A restless Iyer decides to go to the Middle East along with his progressive wife, and the events that unfold there are what we see in MA Nishad’s Iyer in Arabia.
