Arjunan Pillayum Anchu Makkalum

Arjunan Pillai uses broker Ayyappan to fix marriages for his daughters, ignoring their protests. He marries off elder daughters Jayalakshmi and Jayaprabha to Sudhakaran and Thankakkuttan, despite their lack of education and status. Sarada objects, but the autocrat pushes the unions through to serve his own plan for the family.

Jayasree challenges her father's authority to defend her sisters and mother. Arjunan Pillai decides to marry her off to autodriver Uthaman on the same day, fabricating that Uthaman runs a workshop rather than driving for others. The move reveals his willingness to punish dissent and enforce his will.

The truth about Uthaman's real status surfaces later, exposing the deception. The revelation makes Sarada and the sisters realize how wretched a father Arjunan Pillai can be. As a result, the sisters and Sarada move out of the house to their husbands' homes, severing his direct control.

Despite early resistance, the three sisters' husbands are responsible and loving, offering stability despite their modest means. The family dynamics shift as the women leave the patriarchal home, signaling a change in the household's power balance. Arjunan Pillai's dream of controlling his children's futures begins to fray.

Arjunan Pillai achieves his aim of marrying Ajayan into wealth by arranging a match with businessman K. G. P. Menon. The alliance promises status and security for Ajayan, but it also foreshadows a battle over wealth within the extended family. Tensions grow as in-laws become players in the property drama.

Seetha and Menon scheme to appropriate Arjunan Pillai's properties, and Ajayan goes along with the scheme. The family tension grows as wealth becomes the central goal. The scheming atmosphere sets the stage for the later conflicts over ownership.

A plan emerges where the three sons-in-law urge their wives to demand Rs 1 lakh each to start businesses, testing the family’s tolerance for demands. Arjunan Pillai refuses, insisting on respect and traditional bonds rather than blackmail. The confrontation deepens the rift between him and his daughters' husbands.

Arjunan Pillai divests about 10 lakhs of his properties to Ajayan to secure a loan. Sarada resists the move and dies as a consequence of the conflict around wealth and power. The household fractures further as the mother’s death exposes the fragility of the patriarchal system.

Ajayan misappropriates the properties after Sharada's death, expelling both Arjunan Pillai and Jayasudha from their home. They seek refuge with Parameswaran and Madhavi, who shelter them and keep the family ties intact. The three sons-in-law rally to support the patriarch and reclaim the family’s assets.

The three sons-in-law join Arjunan Pillai in a legal fight to retrieve the property from Ajayan. K.G.P Menon tries to break their unity, but the group stays cohesive. They win the court case, and Ajayan is exposed for cheating and loses the advantage he sought.

Preparations begin for Jayasudha’s marriage, with Uthaman, Sudhakaran, Thankakuttan, and Arjunan Pillai working together to secure the match. Ajayan and Menon attempt to sabotage the wedding, but their schemes fail. The family remains united in defending the alliance and the honor of the sisters.

Ajayan disrupts Jayasudha’s wedding, triggering a fierce confrontation in which Arjunan Pillai assaults him. Ajayan then seeks an apology from his father, beginning a cautious reconciliation. The film closes with the family celebrating Jayasudha's marriage and restored harmony among the clan.
