Plot
Anandakuttan's mother wants her daughter Anandavalli to be with the family for Anandakuttan's marriage to Revathy. So he takes up a trip on to Tamil Nadu in search of his sister and her husband Muniyandi along with his uncle Keshu.
Anandakuttan succeeds in finding his sister and she sends her daughter Parvathy with Anandakuttan to his home town, to prevent her from marrying Kannayya. However, Parvathy assumes that Anandakuttan is in love with her following the Tamil custom of Muraimaman (where uncles do marry their nieces). She falls in love with him and assumes his family also considers her as the fiance of him without knowing that he was already engaged with Revathy. Anandakuttan wants to make her aware that in Kerala, it is a prohibited relationship as uncles have a fatherly figure without offending her. So he tries to bring Kannayya to his family to make her fall in love with him. However, she doesn't which results in a major issue in the family once they realised that Parvathy loved Anandakuttan.
