Malamaal Weekly is about the struggles and survival of people in a small town. Lilaram earns a meager source of income through his business of selling Malamaal Weekly Lottery Tickets. One day, while watching TV, he learns that one of the tickets he had sold has in fact won One Crore Rupees Bumper Prize. As most of the other villagers don't own TV and are illiterate, Lilaram knows that he is privy to this information. The question is how to find that one ticket from the 105 he's sold. An idea hits him! Lilaram throws a party, a virtual festivity for the people who are fighting to survive. Lilaram, already debt-ridden, manages to host this party at expense of his one last asset- his goat kid! Now, the party is only for his 105 customers on condition that they bring along their tickets as an invite to celebrations. As luck would have it, all turn up except Anthony, the drunkard. Lilaram decides to pay him a visit. On reaching his house, he finds Anthony dead in front of TV. Too shocked on hearing about his victory but lottery ticket is still in his hand....
