Sthreedhanam (English: Dowry) is a 1993 Malayalam family drama film directed by the duo Anil-Babu and starring Jagadeesh, Urvashi and
Meena in major roles.[1][2]
A television soap opera, sharing the same title and adapting the movie’s story, aired on Asianet from 2012 to 2018.[3]
Vidya is the second of four daughters of Kurupp, a bus driver who is the sole breadwinner for the family. Initially reluctant to marry Prakashan, a government employee from a middle-class family, due to her mother-in-law’s exorbitant dowry demands, they eventually agreed to the marriage under a condition, Kurupp would provide the dowry in installments. After marriage, Vidya endured constant torment from her mother-in-law and Prashant’s siblings due to their insatiable greed for dowry. The abuse escalated to the point where she suffered a miscarriage at the hands of her mother-in-law. However, a series of events unfolded, culminating in Prashant’s mother falling ill and being left alone. Ultimately, Prashant and Vidya reconciled with her after she apologized for her past cruelty.
