Sathyanathan (Jayaram) is a teacher at a higher secondary school who is married to Priya (Gopika), a bank employee. The couple has a son Bhaskaran (Ken Sanal). Though not everything has been well with their family with Sathyanathan's alcoholism creating havoc on their peaceful existence, Priya forgives and forgets in an effort to keep them bound together. However when Sathyanathan 'discovers' the Facebook, he starts feeling that his wife hasn't been up to the mark, and Priya decides that she cannot take it anymore.The chief issuue with 'Bharya Athra Pora' is that Sathyanathan is a husband whom we have seen several times before. The only difference is that the man is obsessed with Facebook this time around. But his complete disregard for his own family, and the lure towards any woman but his own wife, is something that we have seen in several husbands already.
