Machante Maalakha

The movie starts with Sajeevan, a simple and friendly guy, who is a KSRTC conductor who is close to his sister and brother in law and his nieces. The story is about how he clashes with a passenger Bijimol. Over the course of their interactions, Sajeevan begins to develop an affection for Bijimol and visits her family to ask for her hand in marriage. Bijimol's mother Kunjumol is an overbearing and loudmouthed lady who is a control freak and likes to hold sway over all elements around her including her husband Gopi. The marriage alliance is accepted under the condition that Sajeevan would live at Kunjumol's house. Over time, Bijimol who also has control issues like her mother, along with the prodding of the mother, begin to create issues in Sajeevan's life. In a twist of fate, Sajeevan befalls a critical accident and needs a kidney transplant. While his sister prepares to offer him her kidney, Bijimol beats them to the draw and offers her kidney, against her mother's wishes but it is revealed, that the idea is more out of her desire to have further power over Sajeevan rather than her love to her husband. In a series of misunderstandings, Bijimol assumes that Sajeevan is drinking alcohol during his recovery, thus feeling cheated that he has no value for her sacrifice and this leads to a confrontation which results in her slapping Sajeevan's friend Ramesan, and eventually getting slapped by Sajeevan when she insults Sajeevan's brother in law Dasan.
