Pandippada is the story of a rivalry between Pandi Durai ([[Prakash Raj]]) and his brother-in-law Karuppayya Swami ([[Rajan P. Dev]]), who are illiterate landlords, yet equally feared by the villagers for their brutalities. Bhuvanachandran ([[Dileep (actor)|Dileep]]) is a young, unsuccessful entrepreneur who gets a piece of land in the same village. He has a lot of debts and in order to clear that, he has to sell this land. However, Pandi and Karuppayya has not let any owner of the land to sell it, Bhuvan being the latest owner to land into trouble.

Bhuvanan, not knowing the situation stemming from the feud, comes to this village to check the possibilities of selling the land. Then he sees his best friend Bhasi ([[Harisree Ashokan]]) who lived there and asks for his help. Bhasi takes him to Pandi, whose gang he was a member of, and Bhuvanan joins Pandi's group. Later, he falls in love with Meena ([[Navya Nair]]), who is the beautiful, literate yet well-mannered daughter of Karuppayya.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/2349/malayalam/pandipada/preview.htm|title=Pandipada Preview, Synopsis|accessdate=13 March 2010}}</ref>
