The film opens with Pradeep enjoying a cricket match, establishing his love for sport. His parents, Raghavan Thampi and Subhadra, are anxious to marry off their sons after an astrologer warns that a grandchild is essential or one of them may die. The ominous warning sets a tense mood for the family’s future.

Prabhakaran is determined to become a skilled Mridangam player, which clashes with his family’s expectations of an arranged marriage. He resists the path that would please his parents and secure a future through a grandchild. The conflict foreshadows the strains in his marriage and family life.

Subhadra, frustrated with Prabhakaran's refusal to marry Shailaja, attempts suicide in front of him. The act pushes him to relent and consent to the arranged marriage. This desperate moment marks a grim pivot in the family’s dynamics.

After the wedding, Prabhakaran constantly criticizes Shailaja for minor mistakes. Their newlywed life is tense and strained as he judges her harshly. The bitterness sets the stage for Shailaja to prove herself later in the story.

It is revealed that Roshini and Shailaja are old friends, which helps smooth the undercover arrangement as Roshini stays in the family home without disclosing the marriage. The secret remains hidden from the parents, further entangling the family dynamics. Tensions simmer as the truth threatens to surface.
