Plot

Kallu Kondoru Pennu tells us the story of nurse, Sita, who toils hard in the Gulf for the sake of her family consisting of two brothers and a sister. It is her family which is above everything for her. For them, she even tries to forget her love for Dr. Suresh who works with her in the same hospital and loves her sincerely.

Back home in Kerala, her elder brother, Haridasan, and his wife, Pankajam, along with their children, her sister, Raji, and her younger brother, Venu, are leading a comfortable life with the money that she sends home. It is Sita herself who is consulted by all in every matter, including the marriage of her sister, which is to take place with Mohanachandran. His main demand as part of the dowry is a visa which could help him go to the Gulf and earn money though he has a good government job here.

It is when Sita starts for home in connection with her sister's marriage that conflict breaks out in the Gulf and for some days, the whereabouts of Sita are unknown. A few days later, a photograph of Sita holding a child in her hands appears in the newspapers with the caption "A mother and child in a refugee camp". This sets tongues wagging, and finally, when Sita arrives, that too with a child in her arms, she finds that life has changed a lot for her. [3]
