Kunjiramayanam

Kunjiraman (Vineeth Sreenivasan), the nephew of "Well-done" Vasu (Mamukkoya), plans to marry Vasu's daughter Thankamani (Rimi Tomy). All plans are thwarted by Kunjiraman's dim-witted cousin brother Laalu (Dhyan Sreenivasan), who places an inappropriate cassette in Kunjiraman's VCR, and later blaming it on Kunjiraman. With this incident, both families swear to have their child married before the other.

To avenge this, Kunjiraman goes to the Gulf to make money, meanwhile Laalu becomes an apprentice in Kuttan's (Aju Varghese) tailoring shop, where he looks up to Kuttan as his role model. On Kunjiraman's return, he plans to marry well and before Thankamani's wedding. His mother Sumathi (Seema G. Nair) fixes a marriage for him with Sajitha (Srinda Arhaan). On their engagement day, Sajitha makes Kunjiraman promise to stop all his drinking activities, and breaks a "Salsa" bottle and returns to the Gulf. After several failed attempts to bring Salsa into the village, its is realized that Desam is now cursed and nobody is successful in bringing a bottle of Salsa.

Upon Kunjiraman's return, he becomes aware of the curse and publicly accepts the challenge to bring Salsa into Desam in front of Laalu and Vasu, as a way to obtain respect in front of his village. On the night before his wedding, he sets out to bring a bottle of Salsa, but ends up drunk and wakes up only the next noon, thereby cancelling the wedding.

After this Kunjiraman leaves to Gulf and after a series of events, Vasu reaches the village and unknowingly takes the bottle of Salsa that Ratheesh (Hareesh Kanaran) had bought earlier, only to find the villagers rushing to him and thus Vasu obtaining the status of a local hero. But with this departure, another curse had befallen the land, the curse of failed marriages.

Meanwhile Laalu is convinced by Kuttan that the local policeman's sister, Reshma (Sneha Unnikrishnan), has an eye for him. This makes Laalu very dreamy. But his dreams are shattered when Kunjiraman returns after a year and his mother fixes a marriage for him with Reshma. On hearing this Laalu secretly plots against Kunjiraman with Kuttan. They plan to lock the door of Reshma's room the night before the engagement in hopes of locking her in during the auspicious time, thereby calling off the engagement. But the drunk Kuttan ends up locking the door from inside and spending the night in her room. Fearing shame from the society and the greed of the people to have a wedding, Reshma weds Kuttan, leaving both Kunjiraman and Laalu broken-hearted. Kunjiraman departs back to the Gulf, but Kuttan tries to deviate Laalu from Reshma by convincing him that Paramu's (Indrans) daughter, Mallika (Arya (actress)), has an interest in him.

Meanwhile Thankamani's wedding has been fixed and Kunjiraman's mother insists on him marrying Mallika on the same day and same temple, when he returns. Laalu upon hearing this tries to spoil the occasion the night before, once again with Kuttan, by doing the same "locking the door" plan. Upon which they discover Thankamani absconding (from her house to avoid the wedding) and they also learn that Kunjiraman never left and this was planned with Thankamani. All unite and they plan a way to prevent Thankamani's fiancée from reaching the temple.

On the wedding day, the group tries to block the way to prevent the groom from reaching the temple, only to discover him as a person not to be messed with, Manoharan (Biju Menon). Manoharan agrees to this compromise and agrees to attend the wedding just for the sake of it.

At the temple, Kunjiraman and Thankamani are married, without prior consent, but the occasion goes well. But Manoharan plays his own cards and does not let Laalu marry Mallika, instead he marries Mallika, claiming that he will not leave Desam empty-handed, leaving Laalu broken-hearted once again. It is later seen that Mallika has had several affairs and Manoharan is convinced that Desam is cursed and feels that he has received the biggest curse of Desam.
