==Plot==
Anjali ([[Manju Warrier]]) is the third daughter of a late music teacher. She lives with her two elder sisters Ashwathy ([[Mohini (Tamil actress)|Mohini]]), Aarthi ([[Chippy (actress)|Chippy]]) and grandmother (Lekshmi Krishnamurthy). Her life changes when Gopi ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]) moves to his brother's ([[N. F. Varghese]]) house as her neighbor. They fall in love. However, she has a problem with their marriage since she has two elder unmarried sisters. Gopi finds a groom for Ashwathy, but the marriage was called off as she is mute and deaf. After two failed attempts to get her married, they all feel hopeless when out of the blue Gopi's friend ([[Biju Menon]]) admits that he loves Ashwathy, and so Gopi helps him marry her. Then they try to get Aarthi married, but she admits to never having gotten over her old boyfriend. They then track him down and ask him to marry her. He admits to liking her, but says that his mother would ask for a lot of dowry. Gopi does everything he can, including making his brother loan out his house in order to obtain the money and the ornaments they demanded, which were provided by Aarthi's boyfriend himself.

However, that night, when their drunkard step-brother (Meghanathan) steals the ornaments from Anjali's house, Gopi finds him and accidentally kills him. He confesses to Anjali that he killed him, but they hide this until Aarthi's wedding is finished. Eventually Gopi is arrested in front of the wedding guests.

After five years, when Gopi comes back from jail, Anjali and her whole family are waiting for him, and the movie ends on a positive note.
