Plot
[edit]The movie starts with Pradeep enjoying a cricket match. Raghavan Thampi and his wife, Subhadra, are looking for brides for their sons Prabhakaran and Pradeep as an astrologer tells them that they need to have a grandchild quickly or else one of them will die. Prabhakaran is aspiring to become a great Mridangam player, against the wishes of his family, while Pradeep is a bank employee. Subhadra tries to commit suicide in front of Prabhakaran because he refuses to marry Shailaja, the daughter of Madhava Menon. Seeing this, he finally commits to marry Shailaja. After the wedding, Prabhakaran scolds Shailaja very harshly for even small mistakes. One day, on the insistence of his parents, Prabhakaran takes Shailaja out for a movie. On the way, they encounter some goons who make fun of Prabhakaran who was too afraid to face them. He tries to ignore them but in the end, their abuses turn out to be too much for his wife. Shailaja turned out to be a Karate expert. She fights the goons with her saree tucked in. Prabhakaran is stunned when he sees his wife fighting. The goons have no chance in front of Shailaja as her Karate kicks and punches are too good for them. After coming back home Prabhakaran asks Shailaja from where did she learn Karate to which she replies that she had learnt it in her childhood. On the same day at night, Shailaja has a dream where she sees that her husband is being attacked by the same goons and she has to again fight them. She unknowingly punches her husband in sleep.
Pradeep falls in love with Roshini, and they get married secretly in a temple to hide the news from his family. Roshini and Shailaja turned out to be old friends. Hence, Roshini takes Pradeep to stay in his own house. Pradeep tries every possible trick to get out of the house and asks his brother for help. Prabhakaran devises a plan in which he tries to prove that Roshini is a thief in front of other family members so that they are thrown out of the house. The plan fails and Prabhakaran himself is caught by the police. He is released after the original thief confesses that he is the one who stole the jewellery. In the end, Roshini is kidnapped by her stalker, and Pradeep goes to save her. Both are caught by the police, and the entire family reaches the police station to get him released. During this, some goons who are captured by the constable reach there. One of them takes Shailaja captive. Shailaja beats up the goons using her Karate kicks and punches in a saree. Eventually, a bomb blows up the police station but the entire family escapes unhurt.
