Plot
A middle-aged man named Ananthan Thampi has made the decision never to get married in his life. He believes that marriage will cause him to lose his youth and masculinity. His main interests are bodybuilding and physique maintenance. Ananthan Thampi prefers to be a lifelong bachelor. Among his friends, Ananthan Thampi is referred to as "Thampi Annan". The two steadfastly devoted assistants Rajappan and Varadappan stand by him and his principles even if they secretly want to wed their true loves.
His mother Subhadramma and father Shekharan Thampi constantly make sacrifices in temples in hopes that one day their son may reconsider and change his mind. As beneficiaries of Ananthan Thampi's considerable inheritance, his sister Nirmala and her husband V. Venugopalan Thampi (a.k.a. VVT) are delighted with Thampi's single status.
Ganga and her family move to the Thampi neighborhood. Vasumathi, an elderly teacher who arrives there on a transfer, rents a home by Shekharan Thampi. She has four daughters. Sindhu, the oldest, is already married, while the other three, Ganga, Yamuna, and Kaveri, live with their mother. When arriving at the rented house, Ganga's family is unable to unload their furniture and other items from the lorry due to the local laborers demanding huge wages. To maintain Thampi's sister's pride, he had to unload all of Ganga's family's goods by himself.
One day, a man named Aravindan approaches Thampi and requests for a job at his cable firm. Thampi believes Aravindan to be Ganga's lover and offers to assist in arranging their nuptials. Confusions occur, and Thampi is forced to marry Ganga.
