The film begins with some insight into a Brahmin family, with Patteri Thilakan as the patriarch, who is a great astrologer. There is also insight into the politics of the ruling party, of which, Madhavan (Balachandra Menon) is the chief minister of the state. One day at a rally, Madhavan is killed in an explosion. The rest of the film deals with the investigation into Madhavan's death. The case is originally investigated by the local police headed by Vani Viswanath's character but is soon handled over to SIT. Bharath Patteri (Mammootty) is in charge of the investigation team, while characters played by Divya Unni and Ganeshan assist him. Bharath Patteri also turns out to be the son of Patteri.
