The politician Dussasana Kuruppu is the president of the village. He, along with the other members, tries to demolish the bridge on the advice of his fellow party member, Sikhandi Pillai who is his right hand with crooked mind. The opposition leader Ishak Tharakan makes moves to thwart this and capture the position of the village presidency. As a compromise, both groups agree to relocate the bridge to a distant location, so that not only a new bridge but also a new road will be needed to reach the bridge. </p><p>The two tenders, one for a bridge and one for a road, are given to two local contractors. One of the contractors belongs to the ruling party while the other one is supported by the opposition. Ultimately, the bridge is built and opened to the public on the same day of the marriage of Dussasana Kurup's daughter and the bridge contractor. The marriage function is attended by many, including the minister of state for the public works department. Everyone who came for the wedding walks across the bridge, causing it to collapse and killing the crippled Kathavarayan. The film ends by showing the broken bridge in the background. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Panchavadi_Palam&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Bharath_Gopi" class="mw-redirect" title="Bharath Gopi">Bharath Gopi</a> as Dushasana Kuruppu<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Nedumudi_Venu" title="Nedumudi Venu">Nedumudi Venu</a> as Sikhandi Pillai<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sreevidya" class="mw-redirect" title="Sreevidya">Sreevidya</a> as Mandodhari<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Thilakan" title="Thilakan">Thilakan</a> as Ishak Tharakan<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sukumari" title="Sukumari">Sukumari</a> as Rahel<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Jagathy_Sreekumar" title="Jagathy Sreekumar">Jagathy Sreekumar</a> as Habel<sup id="cite_ref-toi_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-toi-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Venu_Nagavalli" class="mw-redirect" title="Venu Nagavalli">Venu Nagavalli</a> as Jeemuthavahanan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Sreenivasan" title="Sreenivasan">Sreenivasan</a> as Kathavarayan</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Kalpana_(Malayalam_actress)" title="Kalpana (Malayalam actress)">Kalpana</a> as Anarkali</li> <li><a href="/wiki/K._P._Ummer" title="K.
