What kind of father gives his one-year-old son some whiskey? Itty (Alencier Ley Lopez) is that kind of father. When this revelation comes out, it’s not clear if it’s a boast or an admission of contempt for other human beings – but it doesn’t matter. This incident is just one of many that are strewn across Maju’s Appan, to show that Itty is basically a horrible man. He is paralysed from the waist down, and he lives with his long-suffering wife (Pauly Valsan), his long-suffering son (Sunny Wayne) and long-suffering daughter-in-law (Ananya). Itty’s grandson is probably the luckiest of the lot, as he is too young to realise the oral and emotional abuse being heaped on the family by Itty. Early on, the little boy pees in his bed, and Itty does, too. Itty’s wife asks Rosy – that’s the daughter-in-law – to attend to the child at once. About Itty, she’s content to leave him wallowing in his own urine.
