Shammi is a patriarch with perfection and, it is often throughout the film we are prived to his eccentric, patriarchal behaviour. In Baby’s house, everything seems immaculate except the voices of the women are subbed.

Meanwhile, Franky takes up the responsibility of cooking, cleaning and doing the household work but, constantly craves for a female presence to hold everyone together. This has given rise to a sense of causality and irresponsibility in Saji, who does not work and suffers from anger management issues and, Bobby, who stays unemployed and gets high on the shore. The four boys live on their own as their mother has abandoned them for religion after their father’s death. When Bobby starts dating Baby and, eventually the two fall in love, these two households are linked to painting a parallel picture of how love and acceptance make them different. The other household is that of Baby’s, where she lives with her sister Simmy and, rigid and neurotic brother-in-law, Shammi. One is a dilapidated small house by the water inhabited by four brothers- Saji, Bonny, Bobby and Franky, who don’t see eye-to-eye and are seemingly different from each other. There are two households introduced to us at the beginning of the film. Hooded with heavy themes of posing the concept of femininity against masculinity, the film ranges from addressing the ideas of love and brotherhood to mental health. The premise of the film covers the relationship between four brothers living in a dysfunctional household and, how they are able to put behind their differences and shortcomings to eventually rise together to live as a family. Kumbalangi Nights is set against the backdrop of the eponymous fishing village, Kumbalangi in Kochi, Kerela. – This article contains spoilers for Kumbalangi Nights – Kumbalangi Nights: How Love Brings Everyone Together
