==Plot==
{{More plot|date=November 2017}}
Pulikkattil Charlie is a [[Nasrani (India)|nasrani]] from [[Travancore]]. He, after the death of his father, has struggled hard to create a business empire of his own. Pulikkattil Mathachan, Charlie's father was a ruthless feudal landlord, who during his lifetime had done several heinous crimes. Charlie is now helping all those who had once suffered from the hands of his father. Mani Kuttan - the son of an iron smith burned to death by Mathachan for demanding title deed rights of land - is brought up by Charlie as a loving younger brother and a trusted confidant. After suffering a small injury as part of a squabble with Antappan, Manikuttan emotionally recollects witnessing as a child the dreadful killing of his parents by Mathachan - with Charlie at night.

Charlie is married to a girl, whose family was annihilated by his father (with the help of trained wild dogs), barring her brother Karnan. As retribution, Pulikkattil Mathachan was brutally stabbed to death by Karnan, exacting his revenge - eight years ago at a hillock. While being captured by the people after the murder, Karnan vowed to eliminate the remaining male member of the Pulikkattil family - specifying his intention to kill Charlie. For the murder of Mathachan, Karnan is imprisoned for eight years.

Karnan is unaware of the fact that his sister is married to Charlie. Later he realizes that Charlie is a good hearted person and gives up revenge and apologizes to Charlie.
