Raman Nair hired a lover for Priya to create a rift between her and her father Sreedharan Nair, thereby weakening his rival's position in their property dispute. Working with Purushottaman Nair, Raman believed that if Priya fell for a man of his choosing, it would embarrass Sreedharan and give Raman an advantage in the ongoing family feud over ancestral property.

The scheme was planned before Bhanumathi's return, showing Raman's desperation to gain the upper hand in the rivalry.

Bhanumathi's return threatened to upset the existing power balance between the brothers. She claimed a share of the ancestral property and the house that Raman Nair occupied, which intensified the stakes of the property dispute and forced both families to reconsider their positions and schemes.

News of her return sent ripples through Raman Nair's camp, signaling that the property conflict would escalate.

A mix-up in the plan caused the hired lover Sivankutty to pursue Sridevi rather than Priya. The scheme was designed to have him win Priya's heart, but through a series of misunderstandings and circumstances, Sivankutty found himself falling for Sridevi instead, completely derailing Raman's original strategy.

The plan's simplicity and the chaotic household dynamics made confusion inevitable.

Purushottaman Nair was Raman Nair's manager and partner in devising the scheme to hire a lover. He helped orchestrate the plan to use romance as a tool against Sreedharan Nair, and he also brought in his brother-in-law Sivankutty to play the part of the hired lover.

Purushottaman's connections made him the key link in recruiting someone willing to participate in the ruse.

Priya and Sridevi maintained their friendship because their bond was stronger than the property dispute dividing their families. They shared sisterly camaraderie, celebrated small victories together, and navigated the expectations placed upon them, showing that family ties could endure even amid public feuds.

From early in the story, their closeness provided a counterweight to the public rivalries.

The property dispute was resolved through a series of farcical twists and affectionate resolutions. The families confronted their pride, the hired lover's genuine feelings for Sridevi became clear, and the wedding sealed a new harmony between the families, bringing the conflict to a close.

The mistaken romantic entanglement ultimately led to genuine reconciliation rather than continued conflict.

Sivankutty agreed to the job because he was in debt to many people and needed a way to escape his financial troubles. Seeing an opportunity to resolve his money problems, he took on the role despite knowing it was a scheme, hoping it would provide a way out of his difficulties.

His financial desperation was evident from the moment he arrived with a suitcase full of intentions.

The feud between the two brothers centered on their ancestral property dispute. Sreedharan Nair served as the respected Panchayat President while Raman Nair was the opposition leader, and their public quarrels over property rights clashed with their private family loyalties, setting the village's tense atmosphere.

The property dispute was established from the opening of the story.

Raman Nair's plan backfired because the hired lover Sivankutty fell genuinely in love with Sridevi instead of Priya. This completely reversed the intended outcome - rather than creating a rift in Sreedharan's family, it led to a genuine romantic connection that ultimately brought the families together through marriage.

The scheme's reliance on emotions as a weapon made it inherently unpredictable.

The wedding of Sivankutty to Sridevi sealed a new harmony by transforming the original weaponized romance into a genuine love match. This happy union brought the relatives' conflicts to a close, with laughter and relief replacing the earlier tension, and demonstrated how love could weather misunderstandings.

The hired lover's genuine feelings for Sridevi were declared mid-story, setting the stage for reconciliation.
