Philipose John Varkey ([[Kunchako Boban]]), a nature enthusiast, sends letters to 100 people to save an unknown tribal village called "7000 Kandi". Different people came, some of them returned because they came to know the Village is haunted. But 6 people (Shanumgan Ilangovan, Madhumita Krishnan, C. K. A. K. Menon, Beeran, Prof. N. Neelakandan and Ananthakrishnan Iyer) came to the village with the help of Malavedan. Philipose reveals them about a treaty between a land lord and Livingston company 150 years ago. As per treaty, the company has the authority to make the forest an industrial area or a plantation for the next 150 years. If they fail, the forest goes to the government of India. If they succeed in the mission, then they can extend the validity to 350 more years. And now the company becomes aware of some rare earth minerals there and they want to explore it. So they appoint the Bangalore brothers to cut down the trees. Philipose convince others about the importance of saving 7000 Kandi and the tribe who were mistaken as ghosts by the natives. Now with the help of six members, Philipose and the tribals try to stop the Bangalore brothers. They succeed in the mission and Bangalore brothers left the place intact. But later it is revealed that the treaty is valid for four months too and the mission was now to hand it over to an international firm and the tribals should fight with the company to live on their own land and the film ends with Philipose, tribals and the six fighting against the company.<br />
