Summary

Chacko (Asif Ali) lost his parents pretty early in his life and after years of struggle, he ends up with a gang of friends who steals bicycles for a living. Their fate changes when they try to upgrade their standards by aiming for more. A heist goes wrong and the gang gets split. Then Chacko moves to another place where he continues with his tricks, on a bigger scale. During one of those endeavors he meet Meera (Aparna Gopinath), a bank employee and they fall for each other pretty soon. The entire first half is used to introduce each character, without divulging much details and any sensible viewer can guess that they all could have a possible role in the suspense later on.^[2][3]
