Plot
The film starts with Roy Alex (K. B. Ganesh Kumar), an investigative journalist writing on Hawala money from the Middle east, writing about some serious documents in his computer. Then he meets former MP and business tycoon Rahim Haji (Narendra Prasad) as invited by Haji's driver Basheer (Mohan Jose). Haji had lost his MP post a year ago after a write-up by Roy Alex in a magazine. He invited Roy as a part of reviving his failed business, and to eliminate his business rival Narendra Shetty (Rajeev), whom he considers to be the man who destroyed his business. Then Roy follows a van carrying a drama troupe, which reaches a home far away as a part of a drama. Roy sees the owner of the home, a businessman, and Chakrapani (Bheeman Raghu), the drama director, having demands of black money, and he captures it. But soon Chakrapani finds them, and with his dogs follow Roy and one of his dogs kill him. At the same time, Rahim Haji, passing through a nearby road, tries to contact Roy, but soon realizes that the young journalist is dead. He then tells Basheer to turn the car, but soon gets to see Shetty, who fatally shoots down him for trespassing through his territory. It is later seen that Basheer has betrayed Haji, as he is seen hugging Shetty then.
Haji's assassination comes as a serious blow to his party. The Chief Minister (Janardhanan) appoints Mohammed Sarkar (Suresh Gopi), an IPS officer in Tripura cadre, as the Superintendent of Police to investigate the assassination. At the same time, the party undergoes a fast headed by Kunjalavi MLA (Augustine), which results in a serious rift between the police officers and party workers.
