Pulival Kalyanam 2003

Harikrishnan [Jayasurya] is adopted by Karunan [Lal] and his family when he is very young. Karunan [Lal] even loses an arm in a fireworks accident while trying to save him, and this brave act leaves a lasting mark on the family. From that point on, Harikrishnan shoulders the responsibilities of the household, stepping up to support everyone around him with quiet determination.

Years later, Harikrishnan grows into a hardworking young man who drives a taxi at the airport while still pursuing an engineering degree. His sister, Sreekutti [Karthika Mathew], is in love with Murali, their neighbor and the only son of Paramanandam [Jagathy Sreekumar], who works for the powerful businessman Raghavendra Sett [Lalu Alex]. When their romance is discovered, Paramanandam makes a severe demand: a massive dowry to seal the marriage. The looming obstacle forces Harikrishnan and Karunan to scramble for money, and they decide to take a risky loan from the shrewd financier Manavalan [Salim Kumar].

With the borrowed funds, Harikrishnan and Karunan invest in their fireworks business, only to watch it go up in flames, burning the money to ashes. Manavalan, left betrayed by his employer, travels back to Kochi with his cab driver Dharmendra [Cochin Haneefa] in tow, hoping to reclaim what was loaned and salvage dignity from the setback. Amid these tensions, Harikrishnan’s life gets further tangled when his phone ends up muddled with Ganga’s [Kavya Madhavan], Sett’s daughter, because both women share the same model on their devices. The mix-up fuels misunderstandings and complicates the path ahead.

Before long, Harikrishnan earns the ire of Raghavendra Sett, who views his actions with suspicion and worries that the young man is chasing money and status rather than love. Yet the couple’s bond only grows stronger as they navigate a maze of family expectations, social pressure, and financial strain. With Karunan’s steadfast support and a touch of luck, Hari and Ganga find themselves facing obstacles and steering toward a happy union.

As the story unfolds, the film balances warmth and comedy with the weight of family loyalties and ambitions. The path to marriage is carved through miscommunications, heartfelt conversations, and clever meddling from those who care about them most. In the end, Harikrishnan and Ganga confront the hurdles together, proving that resilience, love, and loyalty can overcome even the stern opposition of a powerful guardian like Raghavendra Sett, and their future together stands as a testament to perseverance and family support.
