Swapnam Kondu Thulabharam

Aniyankuttan's resentment stems from a series of perceived slights. After the family's timber mill burns down, he faces public humiliation and is mocked for his cursed horoscope. When his parents buy him a bike but then purchase a car for Vishnu, Aniyankuttan feels completely overlooked. The final trigger comes when his mother serves Vishnu payasam in a crystal glass while giving him a common cup, making him feel like an outsider in his own family. His hostel friends then question his parentage, deepening his insecurity.

Early scenes show Aniyankuttan enjoying college drama fame while Vishnu manages family businesses, establishing the contrasting treatment that fuels his later resentment.

After following his father Madhavan, Aniyankuttan discovers him visiting an old man in a mental hospital who calls him 'son.' Believing he is adopted and that his parents have been hiding this from him, Aniyankuttan concludes that Vishnu is the favored biological child while he is not. This revelation shatters his sense of belonging and drives him to first try harming Vishnu by placing oil on the stairs, and later attempting to poison him.

Madhavan's secret visits to the mental hospital are shown early in the film, with his vague explanations to Prabhavati about 'old friends' foreshadowing this hidden truth.

When Aniyankuttan confides in Vishnu about having a secret lover from college, Vishnu investigates by talking to his college mates. Due to miscommunication and confusion, they assume Aniyankuttan is referring to Kalyani, the actress playing Cleopatra opposite him in the drama. Vishnu then gives his word to support Kalyani's love for Aniyankuttan, never realizing that Ammu was actually the one interested in his brother.

The college drama casting shows Kalyani as Cleopatra with Aniyankuttan as her co-star, making the mistaken identity plausible to Vishnu and his friends.

Aniyankuttan is actually the biological son of Madhavan Thampi. Years ago, Madhavan had a close friend who helped him build his wealth. This friend later ended up in a mental hospital, and Madhavan took responsibility for his son Aniyankuttan, raising him as his own. Vishnu, the elder son, is not Madhavan's biological child but was adopted by the family.

Madhavan's mysterious visits to the mental hospital and his vague replies when Prabhavati asks about 'that man' hint at this hidden connection.

When Aniyankuttan warns his mother that Vishnu is about to be killed by the bomb plot, Prabhavati is shocked and desperate to save Vishnu. To prevent the murder and reveal the truth about the family's dynamics, she confesses that Vishnu is not her biological son, while Aniyankuttan is. This revelation is meant to stop Aniyankuttan from committing fratricide and to emphasize that family bonds transcend blood.

Earlier scenes show Prabhavati treating both sons similarly, but the subtle favoritism shown to Vishnu becomes significant in retrospect.

When Aniyankuttan's friends place a bomb in Vishnu's car, Aniyankuttan returns home and tells his mother that Vishnu is about to be killed, seemingly trying to stop the plan at the last moment. The bomb explodes, but Vishnu had already escaped the car unharmed moments before. The exact timing allows him to survive what would otherwise be a fatal explosion.

Aniyankuttan's last-minute decision to warn his mother about the bomb hints at his conflicted conscience, though he claims to want to stop the murder.

Aniyankuttan's first attempt to harm Vishnu goes wrong when he places oil on the stairs. Instead of Vishnu, his mother Prabhavati slips on the oil, falls, and gets hospitalized. This was not intentional harm toward his mother - he was targeting Vishnu, but the plan failed and inadvertently hurt the person he least wanted to harm, adding to his guilt.

The escalating jealousy and desperate state of mind Aniyankuttan displays before this moment show his judgment becoming increasingly impaired.

Ammu has a crush on Vishnu and wants to get close to him. Her roommates advise her that the best way to win Vishnu's affection is to first befriend his younger brother Aniyankuttan and gain the trust of his family members. This strategic friendship would give her access to the household and make her a familiar face before proposing to Vishnu.

Ammu is introduced as the 'drama queen' and 'eye candy' for the boys, making her romantic intentions clear from the start.

The film concludes with both brothers finding their true loves. Vishnu marries Ammu, who had pursued him throughout the film by befriending his family first. Aniyankuttan marries Kalyani, the actress who played Cleopatra opposite him in college and had genuine feelings for him all along. The happy ending brings closure to all romantic subplots.

Kalyani's unreciprocated love for Aniyankuttan and Ammu's clear interest in Vishnu are established early, setting up the eventual pairings.

The summary mentions the timber mill burns down, bringing public humiliation to Aniyankuttan, but does not specify the cause of the fire. This event serves as a turning point that damages Aniyankuttan's reputation and is followed by people claiming his horoscope is cursed, adding to his emotional distress.

The mill fire happens after the romantic subplots are established, marking the shift from comedy to conflict in the story.
