Read the complete plot breakdown of Thuruppugulan (2006), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.
Chandrashekara Menon, a wealthy real estate magnate, pools his fortune into a major hotel project in Kochi and entrusts his loyal lieutenant, Sreedharan Unnithan, to see the work through. He buys a small plot adjacent to the planned 5‑star hotel and assigns Kochuthoma to build a modest restaurant on that site. Menon flies to Singapore, while his son, Kunjumon, is sent to Calicut by his father, who fears for his life after Kunjumon injures a gangster who targeted Menon.
Twenty years pass, and Unnithan leverages money and influence to push Kochuthoma out, threatening the hotel’s image. He hires a rowdy, Tipper Vasu, to pressure Kochuthoma into signing away the site, but Kunjumon arrives and defeats Vasu in a decisive clash. Unnithan then brings in Circle Inspector Aarumugam to remove Kochuthoma. Yet the scales tilt as Menon, using his wealth and power, ends up jailing both Kunjumon and Kochuthoma.
Meanwhile, Menon plans to return home to witness his daughter’s wedding, but Unnithan and his sons manage to frame him with the help of the international criminal Gavan Joseph. Lakshmi travels to Kerala to help her father, and she crosses paths with the Calicut Market hero Gulan Kunjumon—a moment that unfolds before Kunjumon and his father are jailed. The two travel to Kochi together, where a new scheme unfolds: Kunjumon leases a bar inside the 5‑star hotel through Swamy, a controversial drunkard and gold merchant, and this move begins to tarnish the hotel’s pristine image.
As the plot twists mount, Lakshmi learns a profound truth: Gulan Kunjumon is the son of Kochuthoma, and Kunjumon discovers that Lakshmi is Menon’s daughter, not Unnithan’s. This revelation reframes loyalties and accelerates the pursuit of justice. With renewed resolve, Kunjumon and Lakshmi work to free Menon and bring Unnithan and his cruel sons to account. Eventually, Menon is released, and Kochuthoma resists allowing Unnithan to become the hotel’s future head. In a climactic rush to the hotel, Kundjumon teams up with Menon, Khadar, and Swamy to confront the conspirators. The story reaches its cathartic close as Kunjumon tears up the contract, sealing a hard‑fought victory for family, loyalty, and justice.
