Kuruppumash is married to Kunjulakshmi. They go to the temple to pray for a child. Kurupumash is the headmaster of the public school. One day, Kurupumash comes late with his wife to the school, where the DEO came and was waiting for long time. DEO initially gets angry, but gets sentimental on hearing Kurupumash's childless status, tells either get a doctor's checkup or marry another woman who can deliver. Hearing this, Kunjulakshmi, full of guilt, makes Kurupumash marry Saraswathy. One day, Kunjulakshmi gets pregnant and delivers a son. The same time, Saraswathy also pregnant, gives birth to a male child and a female later. But Kunjulakshmi wants Saraswathi to leave their home as she has her own child. Kurupumash will never allow Saraswathi to leave because Saraswathi is also now his wife with child. So starts a rivalry between Kunjulakshmi and Saraswathi. Finally they stay separate. Kunjulakshmi is said to stay in old house and Saraswathi in the nearby house of Kuruppumash.

Now Madhavankuty, son of Kunjulakshmi is grown up, and is going to attend an interview. Krishnankutty, son of Saraswathi, is also attending the same interview. Both of them catch a taxi. They both enter the taxi at the same time ending up in a race up to the interview area. At the interview area again both of them fight and damage the interview area garden. This results in both of them kicked out of the interview. Suma, sister of Krishnankuty, is studying in college where she is disturbed by a college student. The college student catches the hand of Suma while walking, for which Suma beats the face of the college student. Another day Madhavankutty is going by walking for another interview. On the way, Madhavankutty sees Suma being attacked by the college student, so interferes ending up in fight. Madhavankutty beats away the people, but Krishnankutty scolds Suma and Madhavankutty not to go together. Manikandan drives an autorickshaw, and now brings Radhika for job interview to Kuruppumash. But due to extreme speed, when he comes across the cycle ridden by Kuruppumash, he loses control. Kuruppumash falls down. Manikandan drops Radhika in Kunjulakshmi's house, but Kuruppumash arrives and tells that he has no job because of Manikandan. Manikandan now introduces Radhika to Saraswathi for recommendation for the job. Manikandan tells Saraswathi that Radhika is from the prominent Valiakoickal family. And if Krishnankutty marries Radhika, the school will be under Saraswathi's custody. So Saraswathi agrees. Now Subadhramma, mother of Radhika starts to live in a rented house with Radhika. Kunjulakshmy is told by Manikandan that Radhika is from the Valaikoickal house, so if she is married to Madhavankuty, they can live happily. So Kunjulakshmi wants marriage for Madhavankutty. So next day, Madhavankutty goes to Radhika's house in Manikandan's auto. Subadhramma suddenly has a chest pain, gets admitted in hospital by Madhavankutty. But Radhika is dropped at hospital by Krishnankutty and blood also was donated by Krishnankutty.

In the hospital, Madhavankutty waits a long time to meet Radhika alone and tells her Krishnankutty is a diseased person lifelong. This annoys Krishnankutty who comes and quarrel with Madhavankutty at home.

Now the race starts between Madhavankutty and Krishnankutty to marry Radhika. Madhavankutty gives 40000 rupees to Subradhamma to please her and also to give Kuruppumash to get marriage expense for Suma. Radhika's job gets confirmed if Pisharodi Mash retires from the school six months early. Initially, things go smooth with Pisharodi Mash about to retire six months earlier and Radhika working without salary for six months. But Krishnankutty buys alcohol for Pisharody Mash and changes his mind from retiring early. For this, Madhavankuty tries to persuade Pisharody Mash along with Manikandan and gives a lift in the autorickshaw. Though Pisharodi Mash out of alcohol's effect, agrees to resign early, he dies in the autorickshaw when about to come out. Now people think he was killed by Madhavankutty and Manikandan. Now both of them go hiding finally in the attic of Krishnankutty's house as a safe place. Krishnankutty finds out Suma giving food and shuts the door to the attic, ending in the arrest of both Manikandan and Madhavankutty. A few days later, the autopsy report tells it was a heart attack. Both Manikandan and Madhavankuty are now innocent. Kunjulakshmi calls giving wrong information and cancels the marriage for Suma. For this, Krishnankutty now arranges to marry Suma with her college enemy whom she beat once for catching her hand and was beaten by Madhavankutty for attacking her in the road. Madhavankutty comes to know of this. So, on the marriage day, Madhavankutty and Radhika are supposed to get married and on the other side, Suma and her college foe. Madhavankutty interferes and protests Suma's marriage with a wrong fellow. This ends in a fight between Madhavankutty and Krishnankutty in the middle of a paddy field. Only Manikandan tries to stop the fight, Kuruppumash also comes to stop the fight, but gets cut by a small knife on the forehead, causing Kuruppumash to fall unconscious due to severe bleeding. Kuruptumash gets admitted in hospital, meanwhile Madhavankutty, Krishnankutty, Kunjulakshmi and Saraswathi all become friends.

gollark: Perhaps we are HIGHLY smart unlike random internet people and OBVIOUSLY picked the correct® answer, or perhaps we just hold similar philosophical/intellectual/whatever views which make us more inclined to one-box.
gollark: I mean, maybe the average internet rabble is just bad at understanding what "perfect prediction" means, but you could probably argue that it's "rational" at the time of choosing to take both, even if it's... acausally...? worse for you. Nobody here appears to have.
gollark: It's paradoxical because it breaks decision theories somewhat.
gollark: That's kind of the point of the paradox?
gollark: Yes, all versions of it have that.
