Plot

Thekkumpuram and Vadakkumpuram are rival branches of an aristocratic family in the village, and the focal point for their clashes is the right over the village temple and its festivals. It is apparent that there is no near resolution of the conflict as well as no room for negotiation between them.
However, the annual festival in the village must go on and every year and it renews the confrontation between these two families and their supporters which apparently divided the village dangerously between two rivaling factions. The rights for the year's festival go to Vadakkumpuram family in a negotiation proposed by respected "Thirumeni" of the village.

Cast

The film includes songs written by lyricist O. N. V. Kurup and composed by Mohan Sithara.
