Plot

IGP Durga Prasad is the head of Traffic Police. One day during his duty time he takes into custody a gang of criminals who involved in hawala transactions. Chief Minister calls a meeting to ascertain the source of the money. Actually, the money is intended for terrorist activities. Knowing the serious situation, Chief Minister orders to form an Anti-Terrorists Squad.

IGP Durga Prasad is made the chief of the ATS. The DGP and the ADGP provide complete necessary support to him. Once in a week he has to report the developments to the CM. It is at this time an allegation comes out that I.G is harassing some fellows who are suspected to be encouraging the terrorists. Scaria Zacariah, a business tycoon was the main brain behind the blasts that occurred in the State and the terror groups. One or two persons in the department itself are against Durga Prasad. Even under the heavy pressure he does not give up the enquiry. Later the everyone encourages and supports him and allows him to carry on with the mission after knowing about the seriousness of the situation. He tries his level best to put an end to the activities of terrorists. Later, with the order from the Chief Minister and the DGP, he arrests the city police commissioner who was the murderer of the home secretary and who had links with the terrorists.

He then finds out about the hideouts and plans of the terrorists and goes there for the endgame. The perpetrators had already planned to escape from Kerala, but Durga reached their hideout on time, thus foiling their entire plans. After a wild fight with the villains, Durga shoots down Scaria who was the main head of the terrorists and kills Yasir Shah by drowning him in the nearby river. Finally, he finds that his own younger brother, Vinod, is one among the terrorist gang in Kerala. He kills his brother with his mother's permission and puts an end to the terrorist rampage in Kerala. In the end, he is honoured by the entire State for his bravery and actions.

Cast

Reception

Paresh C Palicha from Rediff.com wrote "To sum up, IG is just an average Suresh Gopi fare"[1]Sify.com wrote that " Govind Padmasurya definitely has a future in Malayalam film, while other characters like Jagathy and Vijayraghavan disappear half way through. Is the role of Nandini as a smart lawyer necessary? At most the film is a time pass entertainer which is racy and briskly told though the story and situations are all ?old wine in new bottle?."[2]
