The film proceeds as the flashback of an ex-convict Harilal narrated to a man he meets at a bus stop on a rainy night. It is revealed that Harilal (whose nickname is Lalu) is a poor young man who works for the local sand mafia as a driver. He is friends with Kurudi, whose real name is Nelson Mandela PP. One day while at work, Kurudi draws Lalu to a fight leaving the sand smugglers without a driver that causes them to get caught by the police. Now jobless, Lalu and Kurudi join the group of Chaver Vavachan, who is a financier, and take up the job of retrieving vehicles for non-repayment of loans.
Chaver Vavachan is the younger brother of a notorious former goon 'Chaver Antony' who dies due to a cracker burst by a young lad. Vavachan swears revenge and, after a wait of long 25 years, Vavachan finds the lad (who is now a man) at a hospital and tries to kill him by taking off his oxygen support. Just then, a nurse enters and tries to prevent vavachan from doing it, but she is pushed out. She tries to enter again, but Lalu blocks the way. Angered, the nurse slaps him. Next, she is shown lying on a stretcher, unconscious and having three red lines on her cheek, which reveals that Lalu had given her a tight slap in return. Vavachan completes his revenge by bursting crackers on that man. But unfortunately, he killed one of the henchmen of Vishnu Budhan, an influential smuggler. As revenge, Vishnu Budhan kills Vavachan. Vishnu Budhan's henchmen try to kill Vavachan's men (including Lalu and Kurudi). Lalu and his friends come to know about Vavachan's death and try to flee, but Lalu fears Vishnu Budhan's henchmen might come to his house and harm his mother. So, he leaves his mother at his uncle Janardhan's house. He lies to his mom and uncle that he is the manager at Sastha finance. Janardhan makes Lalu meet the latter's cousin Geetanjali alias Geethu, who was the nurse he had slapped earlier that day. He threatens her not to reveal anything about the hospital incident to his mother. Lalu and Kurudi leave and reach a spot where they meet their friends, but they are confronted by Vishnu Budhan's henchmen, who attacks them. Lalu fights against them. Impressed by his courage, Vishnu Budhan takes Lalu into his gang. During one of Vishnu Budhan's deals, Lalu is betrayed by Vikadan, one of his friends and Vishnu Budhan mistakes Lalu for making away with the goods. Vishnu Budhan's son and friends severely thrash Lalu. When he is admitted in a hospital by his friends, one of his friends receives a call from Sachi, one of Buchan's henchmen and a constable of police. He is forced to move away. After riding far long, he and his friends reaches in his another friend Sethu's house. There he lives with his friends by owning a tea shop. On the next day, his friend Kurudi, who got a job as a taxi driver, comes wired differently than before. He says to others that he met with Bhuddhan's son and beaten him and also that all are his, including his phone. They receive a call from Bhuddhan thinking that it is his son itself and says a load is coming on his way. From here, Lalu and his friends start to fight against Bhudhan. In between, Lalu proposes to Geethu, but she denies it, saying that she cannot fall in love with a goon. But Lalu's uncle was planning to have Geethu married to Lalu. Finally, Geethu accepts his proposal. Lalu, however, returns as a smuggler in his own right and starts overshadowing Vishnu Budhan. Angered by this, Vishnu Budhan kills Kurudi, and Lalu avenges his death by killing Vishnu Budhan and taking over his business. One day, his friend Sachi comes to meet him and tells Lalu to meet the new Commissioner of Police. When Lalu sees him, he learns that Sachi is the Commissioner of Police. Eventually, he is jailed. Lalu loses everything except his mother, who still had faith and love on him. Geethu married some other man. He also lost his business.
Back in the present, as Lalu finishes his narration, he says that he was released that day and was returning home. At that time, he sees a suspicious car parked nearby. Realising it is a trap, Lalu becomes alert, but the man to whom Lalu had just narrated his story shoots him. Before leaving, the man reveals that he was actually sent by Vishnu Bhudhan's son to kill Lalu. The final scene shows Lalu lying badly wounded, but his hand moves slightly, revealing that his chapter is not yet over.
