Anil Kumar's father Sivanandan was an employee at the sugar mill. He was dismissed due to some trade union problems. As the regular income stopped abruptly, Anilkumar's mother Sati had to shoulder the responsibility of keeping the family intact. She joins the Thozhilurappu scheme so as to earn a little sum. Sivanandan is still hoping to return to his old job at the factory, which appeared only a distant dream. 
Anil's sister Anagha is disabled, which was an additional burden. Mukundan, the new teacher at the school becomes instrumental in bringing a sea change in Anil's life. He seeks the help of Anil to prepare a book of 101 questions and answers for sale in trains etc. Mukundan assures Anil one rupee for each question, which really tempted him.

The quest begins and Anil is in pursuit of questions. He turns to his life itself for the same. But at some point he got stuck and this makes changes in his mental makeup. He is caught in a world of questions only and all his childhood traits elude him. After a prolonged struggle, he completes 101 questions. But question 101 was about the loss in his life only. Anil knows no answer for the first hundred questions and he never wants to know. But he wants an answer from Mukundan Master for his last question. Though he had already prepared answers for the hundred questions, the Master fumbled here. He was unable to uncover an answer for the final one.
Leaving behind a hundred questions, he walks to a world which hides even more questions…Anil Kumar Bokaro.

" Highly watchable cinematic experience presented through a special relationship between a young precocious child and his conscientious school teacher. The director in his debut film has done a commendable job in putting forth a topical and sensitive issue. "
- National Film Jury about 101 Chodhyangal

" A precocious child pushed into the vortex of his struggling family, the actor has displayed consummate artistry. "

- National Film Jury about Master Minon (101 Chodhyangal)

" The story was well knitted and did not gave us any disconnect while the director / writer Sidharth attempted to narrate. The life of Sivanandan and Sati was well connected with the union issues to friendship of the friend portrayed by Nishanth Sagar to their child and his relationship with the teacher and the theme of 101 Chodhyangal"
