'Ividam Swargamanu' concerns the story of a hard-working farmer known as Mathews (Mohanlal) and his fight against a land mafia which tries to take over his farmland. Mathews and his father, Jeramias (Thilakan) are hard-working farmers, who have successfully built a farm, along with a cow shed which holds of huge number of cattle. His agricultural land is a matter of envy for many. Mathews has led a calm, silent and happy life along with his family, consisting of his father, mother Elyamma(Kaviyoor Ponnamma) and her sister Rahelamma (Sukumari).
Problems start when Aluva Chandy (Lalu Alex), a powerful land dealer, eyes the farm of Mathews, who tries to convince him to sell the land to him, which Chandy wants for flipping to resell to a Mumbai-based businessman at a high profit. But Mathews is not ready to accept the demands by Chandy and files a complaint at the police station, against Chandy for intruding into his property. The police officer, instead, acts as an agent of Chandy, which puts Mathews into a helpless situation.
