Kudumbakodathi

Raman Nair (Innocent) is a miserly business man who is overbearing on his sons, Rameshan (Dileep) and Ramanan (Ashokan). After both of them get married, problems start to creep into the household and Raman's solution is to get married again. Things take a turn again after Gundur Parvathi (Kalpana) comes into their lives as Rameshan's and Ramanan's step-mother.

Directed by Viji Thamby, Kudumbakodathi leans on a strong ensemble — Innocent, Dileep, Ashokan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1996.
