Plot

Viswanathan Menon is a retired Supreme Court Chief Justice who along with his wife came home to celebrate Vishu with his family and hopes to spend the remainder of his life in tranquillity. The joint family arrives and prepares to celebrate through the weekend, but plans go awry when Menon's grandson Arun Kumar, who is a medical student in Bangalore, is accused of murdering a fellow student. SP Antony Punnekkadan, who has a grudge against Menon's children, attempts to take Arun into custody. Arun goes into hiding, but Antony finds Arun and seizes him from the hideout. Menon's children hires an ace criminal lawyer named Ramesh Nambiar, who bails Arun out of prison.

Vinod Bhaskar is a doctor and a professor who wants to testify against Arun but is kidnapped by Karinkal Peethambaran, a thug hired by Menon's children. Arun gets murdered and Antony arrests Devan, a poor trader who happened to be at the scene. Devan's sister and his mother tells Ramesh that Devan is innocent and that he is being framed by Antony. Ramesh takes the case, where he proves Devan's innocence in court and Devan is released. Later, Ramesh encounters Devan, who introduces himself as a crime boss named Devaraja Prathapa Varma. Devaraja and his assistants deceived Ramesh into believing that Devaraja was innocent, where Devaraja reveals that he is the real killer and that he tricked Ramesh as retribution for saving Arun.

Devaraja plans to avenge the brutal murder of his brother Karthik Varma, who was killed by Arun and his cousins Mahindran and Ganeshan. This triggers a feud between Devaraja and Ramesh. When Devaraja tries to kill the last two relatives involved in the crime, Ramesh sets a trap. Devaraja escapes, but is eventually arrested by Antony. Ramesh learns the truth about the murder at the Bangalore Medical College from Vinod, who is Devaraja's close friend. Ramesh's sister Ashwathy, who was a student at the medical college, had witnessed Arun killing a girl at the school. Arun, along with his two relatives Mahindran and Ganeshan, apprehended Ashwathy and injected her with morphine to kill her.

However, Ashwathy survived, but fell into a deep coma. Karthik, who was Ashwathy's boyfriend, attempts to save her, but was also killed. After learning this, Ramesh is full of remorse. Devaraja escapes from police custody with the help of a cop and kills Ganeshan. Ramesh and Devaraja kills Mahindran and Antony kills Madhavan. The case is abandoned when Antony lets them walk free, knowing that they would escape anyway.
