Summary

A possible concise summary is:

The text is a transcript of a comedy skit about a group of friends who plan to donate money to an orphanage on Onam, a festival in Kerala, India. A thief named Prakasan, who wants revenge on them for getting him arrested, overhears their plan and decides to steal the money with his accomplices. He disguises himself as an old woman named Bhavani and visits the friends' house, pretending to donate Rs. 2,000 to their cause. He tells them to keep the money in the same bag where they have collected Rs. 48,000 from other donors. Later, his partner comes as a fake health inspector and tells them that Bhavani is COVID positive and he needs to take the bag for sanitization. The friends fall for the trick and hand over the bag. Prakasan then appears as Mahabali, a mythical king associated with Onam, and dances in front of them. However, the friends reveal that they knew his plan all along and they had replaced the money in the bag with paper. They catch him and his partner and threaten to take them to the police. Prakasan then claims that he has stolen one more thing from their house and shows them a flower mat. The skit ends with a song and dance sequence.
