Swathi Kiranam is the story of Gangadharam (Manjunath), an early teen who is an ardent music lover and a fan of a top classical musician Anantha Rama Sharma (Mammooty). An egoistic Anantha Rama Sharma develops deep envy towards his prodigious young disciple while his wife adores him and treats him like her son. Problems arise when Gangadharam starts getting more famous than Anantha Rama Sharma.
