The film follows Giri, a don in Thrissur, whose gang includes his wife and friends. Trouble begins when two youngsters, Don and Siju, commit a murder and one of them molests Giri’s wife. A revenge drama unfolds as Giri’s gang retaliates, but the youngsters fight back, targeting his allies. Despite a familiar plot, the film impresses with style and performances.
