1. Oru Mukham Pala Mukham

   Raveendran Thampi is unable to fathom why his widowed mother, Subhadramma Thankachi is hostile to him. This leads him to alcohol addiction, and the car he was driving while drunk meets with a road accident which kills Madhavan, a worker in a factory owned by his family. Sentenced to prison, he meets Krishnan, a fellow prisoner, who tells him the terrible truth - that he is actually the grandson of Rajasekharan Thampi, the patriarch of the family and heir to the family fortune. Subhadramma, sister of the patriarch, had exchanged Raveendran and her own son Sukumaran Thampi so that her son inherits the fortune. Raveendran is shattered by this news and vows revenge on the woman who had wrecked his family and had caused the deaths of both his parents and grandfather.

3. Nidra

   So, we have the kernel of the old story reworked a little and made a bit complex with the use of flashbacks. Raju (Siddharath himself), who was in Germany to do some research, was not informed of his mother's demise, and has a nervous breakdown when he gets the news. He takes a couple of years to recover and after that he marries his childhood sweetheart Ashwathy (Rima Kallingal), who is the family chauffeur's daughter. But, his near and dear ones look at every action of his through the prism of his past illness, which frustrates him. It does not help that he has a rather short temper. To add to the oddities, he has converted his bedroom into a space research lab, and dreams of building an organically self-sustainable world for himself and his wife in the middle of the family's rubber estate. But, his elder brother, Vishwan (Jishnu), has plans to build a resort catering to foreign clients. All this makes Raju very angry and violent and people begin to think that his illness has resurfaced.
