Kaliveedu ( transl. The House of Entertainment) is an Indian Malayalam-language soap opera directed by Dileep Kumar. [2] The show premiered from 15 November 2021 on Surya TV. [3] It stars Rebecca Santhosh and Nithin Jake Joseph [4] in lead roles along with Gayathri Mayura, Uma Nair, Krishna Prabha and Sreelatha Namboothiri in pivotal roles. [5] [6] [7] [8] It is an official remake of Tamil TV series Roja. [9]
Pooja is raised in an orphanage, Snehasadhanam by her foster-father Vishwanathan and has a sweet, kind disposition. She, in reality, is Anu, the long-lost daughter of Nandagopan and the late Arunima. She was separated from her family following an accident which killed her mother and supposedly her too. The accident was plotted by her paternal uncle, Shankar Ram for inheriting her father's wealth. She comes across her living father, Nandagopan and develops a bond with him, though unaware of their relationship. Arjun, humble despite his wealth, is a leading criminal lawyer. Pooja and Arjun meet several times and develop a mutual dislike for each other due to their contrasting personalities.
Vishwanathan rejects the business offer of Sakshi, a crooked businesswoman who wishes to buy Snehasadanam ashram. To get rid of Vishwanathan, she frames him for the murder of Theja with the help of Priya, another inmate of Snehasadanam. Nandagopan takes up the case. Priya masquerades herself as the long-lost Anu and returns to Nandagopan. Due to Pooja and Priya's varying statements on the Theja murder Case, Nandagopan backs off from the case, causing Pooja to look for another lawyer. Pooja attempts to hire Arjun but he backs off citing that his remuneration is beyond her capacity.
Arunima's family reunites with fake Anu and decides to get her married to Arjun, who is her cousin. Arjun who loathes love and marriage refuses but eventually has to relent due to the family's pressure. To break the marriage, he puts a condition ahead of Pooja to enter a one-year contract marriage with him in return for him acquitting her father without any fees. Without another choice, Pooja accepts the offer. The two secretly marry in a temple on Arjun's engagement day and pretend like a married couple in front of the family. Priya and Arjun's aunt, Madhumita, who hates Pooja because of a past incident, try to discredit and endanger Pooja several times but fail in every attempt. Over time, Arjun and Pooja develop a good friendship bond and fall for each other.
Akhil falls in love with a feisty girl, Sneha and secretly marries her when the family decides to get him married to Priya. Arjun and Pooja discover that Arunima was alive all along and is living as a nurse after suffering memory loss and reunite her with the family.
