Swapna Sanchari

Ajaychandran launches his ascent by flaunting wealth and influence: a gleaming Mercedes, the purchase of an aging theatre, and parcels of land in front of the village panchayat hall. He choreographs the Ulsavam festival largely on his own to showcase generosity and leadership. This period is defined by a public image built on ambition and visibility, with dreams of power and social standing guiding his moves.

His bold pursuit of status strains family bonds as he hurts his younger sister and clashes with his father over a match for her that would have been simple and modest. The push for wealth-backed prestige begins to fracture the traditional family dynamics. Trust erodes even as the façade of harmony holds for a time.

The festival he sponsors erupts in catastrophe when the fireworks, personally arranged for display, are handled by an unlicensed operator. A fire devours the celebration and several people lose their lives. In the aftermath, he vows compensation for the victims’ families, while the public image of his success starts to fracture.

Back in Dubai, his business partner is jailed for selling liquor without a license, forcing Ajaychandran to return and bail him out. The bailout drains his personal funds and weakens his financial safety net. To his shock, a trusted politician friend siphons off the money meant for the victims’ families, deepening his sense of betrayal and loss.

The financial blows make it impossible to fulfill a crucial promise to sponsor surgery for a girl in need, triggering delays with ripple effects through the school and community. Gossip and mistrust spread as the delay fuels further damage to his reputation. The social fabric that once supported his rise begins to fray.

The erosion of trust culminates in a tense confrontation with his wife and father, who berate him for letting things deteriorate. The weight of failed promises and financial ruin lands squarely on his family’s shoulders. He arrives at the hospital to face blame for letting life spiral out of control.

Several years drift by as Ajaychandran lives scarred and solitary in a remote village, his finances battered and his outlook hardened by the storms he endured. The distance from his former life prompts quiet introspection about what truly matters. The act of rebuilding begins only in the margins of his new reality.

The same girl who needed surgery reappears, asking him to come home, reigniting a thread of responsibility. He learns that his daughter has survived the suicide attempt, though she now moves with a limp. This moment rekindles a sense of purpose and the possibility of repair.

Moved by his daughter's resilience and the girl’s plea, he accepts the quiet invitation to return home. The encounter shifts his perspective from public glory to family obligation. He commits to rebuilding his life around responsibility rather than status.

He resolves to start anew in Kerala, prioritizing family, steady work, and honest effort over ostentatious displays. The aim is a life grounded in everyday integrity rather than spectacular public gestures. This marks the beginning of a more sustainable happiness.

Ajaychandran begins contributing to his family and community through practical, humble actions. Over time, the community witnesses his change and trust starts to rebuild. The narrative pivots toward tempered redemption and a quieter, more hopeful future.

The film closes with a man tempered by hard lessons who chooses responsibility over spectacle. He remains devoted to his family and engages in honest work, offering a steadier path forward for himself and those around him. The sense of redemption highlights the power of returning home.
