He is friends with Kurudi ([[Sunny Wayne]]), whose real name is Nelson Mandela PP.

Now jobless, Lalu and Kurudi join the group of Chaver Vavachan ([[Baburaj (actor)\|Baburaj]]), who is a financier, and take up the job of retrieving vehicles for non-repayment of loans.

	Chaver Vavachan is the younger brother of a notorious former goon 'Chaver Antony' who dies due to a cracker burst by a young lad. Vavachan swears revenge and, after a wait of long 25 years, Vavachan finds the lad (who is now a man) at a hospital and tries to kill him by taking off his oxygen support. Just then, a nurse enters and tries to prevent vavachan from doing it, but she is pushed out. She tries to enter again but Lalu blocks the way. Angered, the nurse slaps him. Next, she is shown lying on a stretcher, unconscious and having three red lines on her cheek which reveals that Lalu had given her a tight slap in return. Vavachan completes his revenge by bursting crackers on that man. But unfortunately, he killed one of the henchmen of Vishnubuddhan ([[Sudesh Berry]]), an influential smuggler. As revenge, Vishnubuddhan kills Vavachan. Vishnubuddhan's henchmen try to kill Vavachan's men(including Lalu and Kurudi). Lalu and his friends come to know about Vavachan's death and try to flee, but Lalu fears Vishnubuddhan's henchmen might come to his house and harm his mother ([[Rohini (actress)\|Rohini]]). So, he leaves his mother at his uncle Janardhan's([[Kunchan (actor)\|Kunjan]])house. He lies to his mom and uncle that he is the manager at Sastha finance. Janardhan makes Lalu meet the latter's cousin Geetu or Geetanjali([[Gauthami Nair]]) who was the nurse he had slapped earlier that day. He threatens her not to reaveal anything about the hospital incident to his mother. Lalu and Kurudi leave and reach a spot where they meet their friends, but they are confronted by VishnuBuddhan's henchmen who attacks them. Lalu fights against them. Impressed by his courage, Vishnubuddhan takes Lalu into his gang. During one of Vishnubuddhan's deals, Lalu is betrayed by Vikadan, one of his friends and Vishnubuddhan mistakes Lalu for making away with the goods. Vishnubuddhan's son and friends severely thrash Lalu. When he is admitted in a hospital by his friends, one of his ~~friend~~ receives a call from Sachi, one of Buchan's henchmen and a constable of police. He is forced to move away. After riding far long, he and his friends reaches in his another friend Sethu's house. There he lives with his friends by owning a tea shop. On the next day his friend Kurudi, who got job as a taxi driver, comes wired differently than before. He says to others that he met with Bhuddhan's son and beaten him and also that all are his including his phone. They receive a call from Bhuddhan thinking that it is his son itself and says a load is coming on his way. From here Lalu and his friends start to fight against Bhudhan. In between Lalu proposes to Geetu but she denies it saying that she cannot fall in love with a goon. But Lalu's uncle was planning to have Geetu married to Lalu. ~~Finnaly~~ Geetu accepts his proposal. Lalu however returns as a smuggler in his own right and starts overshadowing Vishnubuddhan. Angered by this, Vishnubuddhan kills Kurudi and Lalu avenges his friend's death by killing Vishnubuddhan and taking over his business. One day, his friend Sachi comes to meet him and says Lalu to meet the new Commissioner of Police. When Lalu goes to meet, he comes to know that Sachi, his friend is the Commissioner of Police Sachin R.Menon and he is eventually jailed.

==Plot==
The film proceeds as the flashback of an ex-convict Harilal ([[Dulquer Salmaan]]) narrated to a man he meets at a bus stop on a rainy night. It is revealed that Harilal (whose nickname is Lalu) is a poor young man who works for the local sand mafia as a driver. He is friends with Kurudi ([[Sunny Wayne]]) whose real name is Nelson Mandela PP. One day while at work, Kurudi draws Lalu to a fight leaving the sand smugglers without a driver that causes them to get caught by the police. Now jobless, Lalu and Kurudi join the group of Chaver Vavachan ([[Baburaj (actor)|Baburaj]]), who is a financier, and take up the job of retrieving vehicles for non-repayment of loans.

Chaver Vavachan is the younger brother of a notorious former goon 'Chaver Antony' who dies due to a cracker burst by a young lad.
