Spoilers ahead
Kunju, Mohanlal, the 75-year-old patriarch of the Shooranadu family, believes the heartbeat of the earth is found in soil and farming. He elevates agrarian living to a sacred ideal and treats farming as the ultimate measure of a person’s worth, a stance that repeatedly puts him at odds with his children. His rigid devotion to land and labor creates a constant tension at home, especially with his son Pappoyi, Mohanlal, as he tries to steer his life in directions that diverge from his father’s agricultural creed. The family’s dynamics are further shaped by Mammali, Siddique, and Pottan Pathru, Manoj K Jayan, two other sons who find themselves pulled between filial duty and their own aspirations, all under Kunju’s stern watch.
