Prathapan is the leader of a group of college students that often disrupt classes by organizing strikes and harassing female students. The local MLA is Venu, a dishonest politician from a minor political party. The support of Venu's party is essential for the ruling administration since without it, it would lose its majority in the house. People in the neighborhood are battling a plant that is causing water pollution, but Venu accepts bribes from the industry and does nothing. Venu's uncle, Comrade Krishna Pillai, is an ethical and ideological politician who assisted in organizing the populace in their opposition to the plant. To block the facility, Pillai approaches his former friend, the excise minister.
