Kumbalangi Nights

The eldest surviving brother who becomes the man of the house after their father's death. He struggles with anger management, which leads to frequent clashes with his brothers and alcohol use. His arc moves from volatile outbursts to a protective, responsible caregiver when he helps Sathi and her baby and tries to mend broken relationships.

An unemployed but well-meaning brother who loves Baby and tries to keep the family hopeful. He supports his siblings, participates in schemes to improve their lot, and ultimately helps in the efforts to rescue and reunite his partner Baby with their family. His warmth contrasts with Saji's volatility, providing emotional balance.

A brother who often keeps peace but feels the weight of the family’s struggles. He forms bonds with Bonny and Nylah, bringing a sense of normalcy and care to the home. Though sometimes engines of tension, he contributes to the family’s dynamic with a more easygoing, supportive presence.

A central figure in the homestay, Babymol is practical and caring, helping to maintain a semblance of stability for her family. She becomes entangled in the plan to elope with Bobby, reflecting the tensions between love, security, and freedom within the household. Her actions drive several key moments in the story.

Baby's brother-in-law who exerts controlling and violent authority over the family, holding women captive and abusing them. His presence galvanizes the others to resist and eventually confront him, marking a turning point in the family's struggle for safety and autonomy.
