Plot
Thevakattill Avarachan is an established businessman in a town in central Travancore. Together with his six sons, he controls all businesses in the town. The family is known for its philanthropic efforts, too.
Kuttappayi, the youngest son, is a bachelor and acts as the muscle of the family. Later, he falls for Rebecca, a new teacher at the family-owned school. After a brief romantic feud, the family arranges the engagement of the pair.
The story tenses when the PK Group, headed by Parakaddan Kochouseph, returns to settle old scores they have with the Thevakkattu family. It is revealed that Kuruvilla, the eldest of Avarachan's sons, refused to marry Kochouseph's daughter Kochammini in the past. In the ensuing feud, Kuruvilla is killed, and Mathachan, another son of Avarachan, loses his leg. In the end, Kuttappayi avenges his brothers and saves Kochammini, who is then taken into the Thevakkattu family.
