==Plot==
{{More plot|date=May 2020}}
Devanarayanan (Devan) is a [[Brahmin]] priest from [[Kerala]], who has to look after his entire impoverished family. He is in love with Aswathy, but her corrupt father Govindan Nair is against their relationship. The wicked local businessman Arumukhan, along with Govindan Nair, Inspector Chandrappan, and their coterie of corrupt men of influential positions falsely accuse Devanarayanan of the theft of the local temple's ''Thiruvabharana'' (Deity's ornaments) and fabricate him in the case. Devan's father loses his trust on his son and Devan is forced to leave his village.

He reaches [[Bombay]] where he gets shelter from Mohammad and his daughter Sainaba, who runs a tea shop. Some turn of events draws Devanarayanan into the underworld and he becomes the trusted aide of an ageing don Kareem, who had lost his wife, brother, and uncle in an underworld gang war decades ago. Sainaba is in love with Kareem's only son. Their marriage gets fixed when Devan convinces both Kareem and Mohammed.

Nirmala, who is working for Kareem's gang, gets closer to Devanarayanan. Nair, who was a trusted secretary to Kareem, joins hands together with the rival don Majeed Khan after feeling jealous and dejected when Kareem starts giving more importance to Devan. Kareem's son and daughter-in-law Sainaba, along with Mohammed are shot dead by Majeed Khan, Nair, and their henchmen during the [[Holi]] celebrations, leaving Kareem on a path towards religion and leaving all underworld business for good.

Majeed Khan and Nair plan to leave Bombay, but Devan successfully attacks them and gets them arrested. Devan is then sentenced to a five year imprisonment. After he gets released, Devan along with his lover Nirmala leave for [[Kerala]]. He proves his innocence to his parents and family and teaches a lesson to all those wicked men who had once fabricated him.

But, by that time, Majeed Khan and Nair reach Kerala to take revenge from Devan and kill Nirmala. Devan kills both Khan and Nair. The film ends tragically with a furious Devanarayanan screaming at the judge in the court of law for having been imprisoned under fabricated accusations.
