Kunju, the patriarch, elevates farming as the true measure of worth and treats the soil as sacred. His steadfast devotion to agricultural life colors every major decision within the Shooranadu family. This rigid stance puts him at odds with his children who seek different paths.

Kunju insists his daughter marry a fellow farmer rather than an educated, handsome doctor. This stance triggers silent resentment and open frustration among the siblings. It crystallizes his belief that controlling the family’s future is as important as work.

With the help of the family lawyer, Kunju secretly alters his Father’s Will to divert five acres that should have gone to Eechamma. The deceit seeds a hidden rift that will surface years later. The act is a quiet abuse of trust that defines loyalties within the clan.

Eechamma's husband, a toddy shop owner, faced financial strain and pleaded for Kunju’s help. When help did not come, he took his own life, casting a pall over the family. This tragedy foreshadows the emotional stakes behind Eechamma's demands for justice.

Years later, Mullassery Sreedharan, the family lawyer, reveals the truth about the Will to Eechamma. He recounts the manipulated document and the five-acre swap. The revelation thrusts a private grievance into the public sphere.

Shaken by the revelation, Eechamma decides to pursue her rightful share through legal channels. Her move deepens the family rift and invites scrutiny from in-laws and neighbors. The courtroom becomes a new battlefield where pride and inheritance clash.

Mathan and his brother-in-law Mundaparitha Perumal arrive as outsiders who claim to arbitrate the dispute. Their interference introduces new power dynamics and complicates private grievances. Their authority is contested by the core family interests.

Eecha, the sister who longs for fairness, resists revenge and seeks balanced resolution. Pottan Pathru's muted perspective echoes a family thread favoring restraint. Together they push for a path that avoids bloodshed.

As the dispute intensifies, Ponnan, Kunju's youngest son, becomes a pawn and is killed in the course of pressuring land transfer. The act underscores the grim cost of pride and control. The family is left to grapple with the consequences of their choices.

In retaliation, Kunju kills Perumal, escalating the cycle of violence and cementing the feud. The act triggers legal action and reverses the balance of power within the family. The family is further fractured as loyalties shift under the weight of vengeance.

With Kunju arrested, the keys to the family estate are handed to Eecha. Her ascent marks a formal shift in control away from Kunju's iron will. The transfer signals a fragile new order for the clan.

Kunju is taken into custody as the law closes around him. On leaving the house, his reaction is a wrenching scene of repentance and sorrow. The moment tests whether remorse can repair a lifetime of rigidity.

The prison doors close, but Kunju's public repentance remains ambiguous as the family confronts the consequences. The narrative closes on a conflicted note about pride, land, and the cost of uncompromising ideals. The cost lingers for Pappoyi, Mammali, Pottan Pathru, and Eecha.
