The tale of Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey

Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey revolves around a woman's experience in an arranged marriage. In the film, Jayabharathi (played by Darshana Rajendran) is expected to surrender to the authority of her frail-hearted, egoistic husband Rajesh (Basil Joseph). Jaya's life takes a turn for the worse when Rajesh begins to beat her. Initially, the beatings start as a momentary outburst but soon become her everyday reality.

Jaya's biggest shock comes from her parents, who expect her to endure all the beatings from her husband without making a fuss about it. That's when Jaya decides to take control of her life by learning self-defence.

Jaya Jaya Jaya Jaya Hey received a rousing reception at the box office and became a huge hit. Made on a budget of Rs 5 crore, it went on to earn more than Rs 45 crore. The film gained more popularity and appreciation following its streaming debut on Disney+Hotstar.
