Their attempts are often interrupted by Goddess Poulomi who is known to be the goddess of jealousy, greed, and deception.

The third track involves Santoshi's relatives who are extremely greedy by nature. They dream of becoming rich and can go to any extent to raise money and live a luxurious lifestyle.
