Devi’s elder brother Kuttan, a weakling, understands Purushan’s plight and sympathises with him. Purushan is not-so-subtly reminded of this awkward situation by both his father-in-law and Devi’s uncle, a jovial ex-military officer. It is Devi’s teaching job in a school that keeps the family going. However Purushan, a graduate in commerce, is still seeking a job. The couple now have a daughter, Revathi, aged six. Her father Pappu Pillai, a widower and a respectable retired schoolteacher, had no option but to yield to her wishes even though her suitor was unemployed. He has put on weight, altered his looks through plastic surgery, and is quite unrecognizable.Īfter a long and dedicated courtship, Purushan gets to marry Devi, a young woman of great charm and beauty. Many years later, late at night, Purushan appears like a phantom at the window of Devi’s bedroom. The conspirators get caught, while Purushan goes into indefinite exile facing a murder charge on his return, if ever. In a dark turn of events, unable to find a corpse, they murder a man and burn Purushan’s car with the body inside. In a bid to claim the lofty insurance sum, colluding with his ensnared father-in-law and Devi’s uncle, Purushan devises a plan to fake his own death. His greed triumphs over sanity and reasoning. Having tasted the fruits of wealth Purushan thirsts for more.
His esteem before his wife is regained and his status within the family and the village rises. The distance and the separation rekindle the love between the couple. Eventually a job offer in Dubai comes Purushan’s way both the job profile and pay are beyond what he could have expected. He senses that even his wife is somewhat uneasy with him. Purushan’s status at home and the family circles is not very enviable.
They have a six year old daughter and pressures rise as the household is run entirely on Devi’s schoolteacher salary. The father is an upright, retired schoolteacher and head of a lower middle-class family, his schoolteacher daughter has a jobless husband who is passionately in love with her, his brother-in-law who is an ex-army officer – all willy-nilly get drawn into the vortex of a crime, not realising how it will overturn their lives forever.Īfter a long and dedicated courtship the unemployed Purushan marries a young, charming girl, Devi.
