Touching and thrilling, this romantic drama follows the rise and fall in the life of Mangalasherry Neelakantan's (Mohanlal) son Karthikeyan (Mohanlal), as he ventures out to make money which ultimately makes him a liquor baron. The relationship between Neelakantan and Karthikeyan deteriorates, as the father does not approve of his son's money-making methods.
Mundakkal Shekharan (Napoleon), their family's bitter enemy comes into the picture again after spending a term in prison for killing one of Neelakantan's friends.

Bhanumathi passes away and Karthikeyan is now bent on taking revenge.
Neelakantan loses his home and Karthikeyan ventures out in an attempt to reclaim his ancestral home. In the meantime, Karthikeyan abducts Shekharan's daughter Janaki (Vasundhara Das) in an attempt to blackmail him (Shekharan), during which they fall in love with each other.
