Swapna Sanchari revolves around the gulf-returned Ajaychandran Nair. He has a lovely wife, Reshmi, and a daughter, Ashwathy, in 9th standard who does not speak much. His father believes in old ways. The movie tracks his ups in life in the first half, where he returns from the Gulf with a huge pocket. He dreams of earning a big name in society, thus buying a Mercedes-Benz, an old theatre, land in front of panchayat hall, promising hefty contributions for the community hall, and several other charitable organizations where he can put his name prominently. He undertakes running the village festival completely by himself to earn a big name. Thus, he dreams big but falls short in no time after his business in Dubai falls down. In no time, Ajaychandran reduces nothing to a big zero. The movie sketches the plot of those who fall into debt due to show-off.
