Plot

The film opens with the birth of Thoma (Dileep). Thoma's mother dies while giving birth to him, and he also suffers from a cleft lip and vocal cord deformity. Thoma's father is the very rich Plapparambil Paulo (Saikumar) a man known for loansharking, greed, stinginess, and evicting people for inability to pay back the loan and forcing foreclosure. Paulo was reluctant to spend money for his son's surgery. Paulo has two elder sons—the eldest Plapparambil Mathai (Mukesh) and the younger son, Joykutty (Shiju).

Mathai falls in love with a Muslim girl and marries her, causing Paulo to kick him out of their house. Mathai moves to his wife's house, converts to Islam, and begins a new life as a fishmonger.

Paulo anticipating his son Joykutty to fetch 2 crore rupees as a dowry and is searching for a wife for him, but is unsuccessful because no one wants to send a girl into Paulo's home because of his bad reputation as a heartless money lender. In order to change his reputation, Thoma has an idea—Paulo should conduct a group wedding for five orphan girls and show that he is a charitable man. During the course of the wedding, Paulo's plans go astray.
