His family has a feud with their opposite house family (M. S. Bhaskar, Subbu Panchu, Meera Krishnan and Devadarshini). Pambukutty's daughter Deepika (Anjena Kirti) was into a boarding school in Ooty for 10 years, where she completes her education and comes back to her native.

Reception

edit

Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express opined that "The film is like a stage play, at times like a low-end TV serial. There is no distinct characterisation, with the whole lot behaving in a juvenile manner. It’s a tirade of non-stop dialogues with no respite".[4]
