Plot

The movie opens with a crime where a young man is beaten to death with a club in front of his fiancé. Then comes an investigation officer Alexander and his assistant Ramachandran. Though Alexander is intelligent enough to prove crimes, unlike others, he doesn't believe in torturing the accused people to prove crimes. Parallel to this, Harsha Vardhan, a man of mystery, lives lonely in a big house, and teaches music to a girl named Sophie. One day he kidnaps and brings an auto driver named Raghavan and tortures him in his house cellar. Alexander and Ramachandran take up the case, and upon investigation, Alexander suspects Harsha. He kills Raghavan, severs his body and then eradicates every single piece of evidence which could prove him guilty. Once the severed parts are found, the case heats up further, and Alexander realizes that it's a well planned murder, only after he finds Harsha had left the city without any notice.

The story then moves four years back. Harsha, as an aspiring young musician, struggles not only in his career, but also in his life to maintain his relationship with his lover Maya. After getting married, both of them, with their two more friends, Nimmy and Dr. Roy, start living together. One day, Maya joins a call center and gets miffed with Raghavan there on his careless driving. Harsha leaves for Chennai, and while he is away, Raghavan kidnaps Maya, kills her and buries her severed head to avoid suspicion. But Alexander and Ramachandran finds it out, and Raghavan is imprisoned. Harsha gets devastated by the loss of Maya and gets furious upon finding that first of all, Raghavan was given life imprisonment instead of the death penalty, and secondly, he got freed before time. He makes a plan along with his two friends to kills Raghavan. Nimmy starts using his auto and befriends him. One day, while going with him, Nimmy follows Harsha's plan, and as Raghavan takes her on a route through a forest, she suddenly jumps out. Raghavan is held by Harsha as he gets out of the auto. A fight takes place between them in which Harsha overpowers Raghavan and injects him into unconsciousness.

Then in the present, Nimmy and Roy are shown watching the news, which proves the system's failure in finding out the dead body's identity and that the case would go on with further investigations. Upon being asked by Ramachandran about what was to be their next action, Alexander smiles and replies that, "It's not Jesus Christ who has died. It's Judas. He'll have to die", after which he is accompanied by Ramachandran through his laughter, indicating that they won't disclose anything about Harsha.
