Swayamvarapanthal tells the story of Deepu, the pet and indispensable brother of his five sisters. They need him right from taking their children for an outing to replacing gas cylinders and buying cosmetics. Deepu on his part is only too glad to be of help and thus has a special place in their hearts. As he comes of age, his sisters start searching for a suitable girl and after a great deal of hunting the unanimous choice is Priya. Deepu too likes her and the marriage is conducted much ceremoniously. But soon after, some shocking revelations dawn upon him and that too while he’s on his honeymoon.

The film has a right mix of sentiment, humour, drama and all ingredients that appeal to family audience.Performance-wise, Jayaram and Samyuktha Verma have done their respective roles as Deepu and Priya with remarkable ease. Lalu Alex as the doctor too has done his part fairly well. But it is Innocent and Srinivasan, as Shankar Bhanu and Kandaththil James – two lunatics -- who steal the show and make the second half of the film lively.
