The
story
revolves
around
a
school
assignment
given
to
a
class
V
student
to
frame
101
questions.
Anilkumar
(Minon),
a
class
V
student,
is
a
very
smart
and
intelligent
guy.
His
father
Sivanandan
loses
his
job
in
a
sugar
mill
as
he
was
the
leader
of
the
striking
employees.
Sivanandan
also
has
a
mentally
challenged
daughter
Anagha
(Baby
Diya).
His
wife
Sati
(Lena)
does
manual
labour
under
the
Government's
Employment
Guarantee
Scheme,
an
only
means
of
family
income.
Anil
had
his
mid-day
meal
from
the
school.
Unfortunately,
one
day
the
mid-day
meal
was
suddenly
stopped
due
to
lack
of
funds
and
the
children
who
could
afford
to
bring
food
were
requested
to
bring
it
and
even
share
it
with
others.
Anilkumar
promises
his
favourite
teacher
Mukundan
Master
(Indrajith)
that
he
too
will
bring
his
share
of
food.
On
the
first
day,
Anilkumar
manages
to
get
the
food
from
his
mother,
but
the
next
day
he
does
not
go
to
school
because
his
mother
refuses
to
give
him
food.
Mukundan
Master
convince
Anilkumar
that
he
can
attend
classes
even
if
he
cannot
bring
food.
Mukundan
Master
comes
to
know
that
Anilkumar
is
a
proficient
student.
So,
he
gives
Anilkumar
an
interesting
task
to
test
his
endurance
and
confidence.
Master
asks
him
to
frame
101
questions
regarding
different
facets
of
life
and
their
answers,
so
that
they
could
be
sold
out
at
the
market
in
the
form
of
a
book.
Mukundan
promises
the
child
Rs
1
for
each
meaningful
question.
The
curious
and
vibrant
Anilkumar
starts
his
quest
for
101
questions.
After
a
long
struggle,
Anilkumar
manages
to
assemble
his
101
questions
with
their
answers.
But
the
last
question
he
finds
out
leaves
everyone
into
surprise.

Chodyangal
101
Chodyangal
is
told
from
the
perspective
of
a
young

The
movie
works
out
slowly
and
steadily
into
our
minds.
101
Chodyangal
do
not
have
huge
dialogue
delivery,
romance,
melodrama
and
even
comedy,
but
still
the
movie
captures
one's
heart.
Indrajith
Indrajith
has
showed
a
measured
performance
in
this
movie.
We
have
seen
him

different
roles,
but
his
Mukundan
Master
is
sure
to
fetch
him
great
applause
and
he
deserves
it.

Abhilash
Lena
was
more
popular
as
a
Television
artist.
But
now
the

has
become
more
popular
in

too.
Her
notable

roles
can
be
marked

Kalathu,
etc.
Siddharth

Lots
more

Performances
With
respect
to
performances,
everyone
is
consistently
good.
Master
Minon,
Indrajith
