Plot

Yakobi is an orphan who works in a dairy farm, where he drives his own lorry on a contract basis. Orange is the name of his lorry. He falls in love with Saritha and they marry. His sisters and relatives are not informed of this marriage. Later Saritha bears a daughter, Orange. Whenever he goes to his native place, his relatives enquire why he remains a bachelor.

As usual when Yakobi was returning to Kambam after visiting his native place, a man asked him a free lift. While continuing their journey Yakobi learns that his name is Jith and he is going to an interview for a job in the dairy farm where Yakobi works. But they fail to arrive at the farm within time. Yakobi arranges a temporary job for Muthu at the dairy farm.

When Yakobi meets one of his old friends Baboottan, he invites him to his house and this serves as the turning point in the story.

Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "The gags are half-hearted and pop-up like uninvited guests in an otherwise dull plot. Orange, in spite of some powerful performances from Mani and Biju Menon, fails to impress the viewer".[2]
