A Story Packed with Comedy and Confusion
The play revolves around Mahalaxmi, a determined mother who plans to arrange her daughter Chithra’s marriage to Prem — the son of her brother Chidambaram, who moved to Singapore years ago. However, things take a dramatic turn when Chithra reveals that she is in love with someone else, Gopi.
Instead of accepting defeat, Gopi devises a hilarious plan. He pretends to be Prem in order to win over the family’s approval. Meanwhile, his office manager, Marthandam, joins the act by impersonating Chidambaram, Prem’s father. As a result, a chain of comic situations unfolds, filled with mistaken identities, exaggerated performances, and nonstop laughter.
