Plot
Prince Chakkalakkal is the eldest of three brothers and the main breadwinner of his family, running a successful bridal boutique. Despite being responsible, caring, and well-respected, Prince remains unmarried even after his younger brothers settle down, mainly due to his reserved nature and the family’s high expectations for a bride.
After a series of failed proposals, Prince finally unexpectedly marries Chinju Elsa Rani, a confident and outgoing young woman who is active on social media. Prince didn’t feel much happy on Chinju’s extroverted lifestyle but he didn’t express it initially. But his family enjoys her character and they also became active in social media.
However, after some time, her behaviour begins to create discomfort within the family especially with Prince’s mother and sisters-in-law when she lies about being pregnant as part of a prank video.
Tensions escalate when Chinju becomes embroiled in a viral online controversy after one of her videos sparks public outrage. As misunderstandings grow, Prince is forced to take a stand between his wife and his family. The story follows how the couple faces the emotional and social challenges that threaten their relationship, and whether they can overcome the divisions to restore peace and unity in the family.
