Tirupathi (Mammootty) is the eldest of four brothers and the head of a respected
family in the village. He has struggled to bring his family out of poverty and
put his other two brothers, Kannan (Abbas) and Surya (Shyam Ganesh), through
college. His younger brother Madhavan (Murali) has provided able support.
Tirupathi marries Bharathi (Devayani) who fits into the family admirably. But
the arrival of Renuka (Rambha) as Madhavan\\\'s wife signals the start of problems
as she doesn\\\'t like her husband\\\'s obeisance to Tirupati. Kannan falls in love
with the village rich man\\\'s daughter Viji (Sneha) but is willing to give her up
to save his family from the man\\\'s ire.
