Synopsis
Sivankutty (Dileep) is a big fan of Super star Mohanlal. A part-time mechanic, Sivankutty ekes out a living selling movie tickets in the black. It is at this stage that comely Karishma (Sishwa) walks into his life. Karishma is an engineering student who happens to be staying in a hostel near Sivankutty's house. In no time, Sivankutty is bowled over by Karishma's curls and charms. But Sivankutty's cousin Thanki (Samvrutha Sunil) is in love with him, of which Sivankutty is unaware.
A local dada, Kaala Bhaskaran (Murali Gopy), has killed a policeman and is in jail. Beside herself with grief, the policeman's mother goes mad. Since Bhaskaran was a terror in the village, no one is ready to testify against him. But the plight of the old woman moves Sivankutty, who musters courage to give evidence against the goon. A pep talk by the local inspector Kapil Dev (Biju Menon) also gives Sivankutty the courage to take on Kaala Bhaskaran. The daring deed makes him a hero in the village.
Soon Sivankutty learns to his horror that Bhaskaran is out on parole. The 'hero' develops cold feet. What follows is the climax featuring a burly Bhaskaran and scared-out-of-his-wits Sivankutty.
