| ==Plot==
| |
| {{More plot|date=October 2019}}
| |
| First is shown the last part of 'Devasuram' where Mangalassery Neelakandan chops off Shekharan’s right hand.
| |
| | |
| The story begins with Mangalassery Neelakandan's ('Neelan') son Karthikeyan, as he ventures out to make money which ultimately makes him a liquor baron as now Neelakandan has lost his wealth. The relationship between Neelan and Karthikeyan deteriorates, as the father does not approve of his son's money-making methods.
| |
| | |
| Mundakkal Shekaran Nambiar comes into the picture again after spending a 9 year term in prison for killing one of Neelakandan's friends: Kunjananthan, decades ago on Neelakandan's and Bhanumathi's marriage day. He still carries the vengeance against Neelan for severing the former's right-hand years ago. Shekaran decides to finish the Mangalassery family by taking over the chairmanship of a debt-ridden Bank for confiscating the house which was kept as [[Mortgage loan|mortgage]] to the bank for the medical treatment of Bhanumathi: Neelan's wife and Karthikeyan's mother and also for the educational expenses of Suhara, daughter of one of Neelakandan's aides Hydrose.
| |
| | |
| Bhanumathi seeks treatment at Shekaran's Hospital. Even though Dr. Janaki: Shekaran's daughter, offers her the treatment she requires, Shekaran throws her and her aides out of the hospital, but Neelan reaches on time and issues a strong warning to Shekaran . Neelan tries to find her treatment elsewhere, but Bhanumathi passes away in her sleep. He is shattered. Karthikeyan is not able to reach on time to set her pyre on fire and he's now bent on taking revenge on Shekaran. He vandalises the hospital as his revenge.
| |
| | |
| Neelan loses his home and Karthikeyan ventures out in an attempt to reclaim his ancestral home – where Bhanumathi was cremated and her eternal urn stands on the Mangalassery soil. He tries to acquire the house legally from an auction with the assistance of the State Home Minister and MLA Sivadasan (Kunjananthan's son and Karthikeyan's childhood friend), but Shekaran and his cunning nephew Mundakkal Rajendran, along with Rajendran's evil accomplice Maniyampra Purushothaman acquire it back using a faux concealed tender. As a last resort, Karthikeyan abducts Janaki in an attempt to blackmail Shekaran, and harbours her in his friend – Sakhtivel Gounder's house in [[Pollachi]], where the Gounder family takes great care of her as their own daughter. It is during this period, Karthikeyan and Janaki fall in love with each other.
| |
| | |
| Karthikeyan gets the Mangalassery House ([[Tharavadu]]) back when Shekaran strikes a compromise without the knowledge of Rajendran and Janaki's fiancé, Sreenivasan Nambiar IPS. Janaki is subsequently released. As a result of arguments between Janaki and Sreenivasan about her chastity while being in the custody of Karthikeyan, and she not giving a written statement to the police against him because of her liking towards Karthikeyan, the fixed marriage is called off by Janaki.
| |
| | |
| Rajendran makes a last attempt to kill Karthikeyan, but instead kills Neelakandan by lighting him on fire. Rajendran in turn gets killed by Neelan after a perfect knife throw, which decapitates the former. Karthikeyan, now infuriated on his father's murder, goes to kill Shekaran by burning him. But an elderly Warrier stops him and brings him back. Shekaran realizes his mistakes, as well as the influence of the kind Warrier on both Neelan and Karthikeyan (Warrier's intervention prevented Neelakandan from killing Shekaran decades ago: in [[Devasuram]]).
| |
| | |
| In the end, the eternal urns of Bhanumathi and Neelakandan are shown; Karthikeyan becomes the head of the Mangalassery house, and the IPS officer gives Janaki back to him, thus parting ways with the would-be couple on a happy note. Karthikeyan and Janaki are happily married with everyone's blessings.
