Plot
The movie starts with Pradeep (Jayaram) enjoying a cricket match. Raghavan Thampi (Thilakan) and his wife Subhadra (Sukumari) are looking for brides for their sons Prabhakaran (Nedumudi Venu) and Pradeep as an astrologer tells them that they need to have a grandchild quickly or else one of them will die. Prabhakaran is aspiring to become a great Mridangam player, against the wishes of his family, while Pradeep is a bank employee. Subhadra tries to commit suicide in front of Prabhakaran because he refused to marry Shailaja(Geetha), the daughter of Madhava Menon (Adoor Bhasi). Seeing this he finally commits to marry Shailaja. After the marriage Prabhakaran scolds Shailaja very harshly for even small mistakes. One day on the insistence of his parents, Prabhakaran takes Shailaja out for a movie. On the way they encounter some goons who make fun of Prabhakaran who was too afraid to face them. He tries to ignore them but in the end their abuses turned out to be too much for his wife. Shailaja turned out to be a Karate expert. She fights the goons with her saree tucked in. Prabhakaran is stunned when he sees his wife fighting. The goons have no chance in front of Shailaja as her Karate kicks and punches are too good for them. After coming back home Prabhakaran asks Shailaja from where did she learn Karate to which she replies that she had learnt it in her childhood. On the same day at night Shailaja has a dream where she sees that her husband is being attacked by the same goons and she has to again fight them. Pradeep falls in love with Roshini (Urvashi), and they get married secretly in a temple. Pradeep and Roshini marry secretly to hide the marriage from his family.
