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.
