"Thamaasha" follows Srinivasan, a balding Malayalam professor desperate to marry. After numerous failed attempts orchestrated by a broker and inspired by his friend Rahim’s marital happiness, Srinivasan decides to approach women directly. His initial pursuit of colleague Babitha is thwarted when she shows interest in a younger, handsome professor. He later meets Safiya, who is actually selling hairpieces.

His family then arranges a meeting with Chinnu, an obese woman. Srinivasan, self-conscious in his hairpiece, is initially put off. An embarrassing incident with his hairpiece leads to a comical escape. Chinnu returns it, and circumstances involving an elderly man lead them to spend time together, unexpectedly fostering a connection. They visit an art festival, and Chinnu posts a selfie online. Harsh comments regarding her weight and his baldness prompt Srinivasan to demand the photo's removal. Heartbroken, Chinnu uploads a powerful video challenging societal beauty standards and lamenting the loss of relationships. Upon realizing his friend's wife is mute, Srinivasan reflects on his actions. He apologizes to Chinnu at a hair donation event, and together, they embrace a hopeful new beginning.
