	A flashback narration by Father Varghese ([[Rajan P. Dev]]) reveals that, once Devarajan ([[Mammootty]]), as a local hitman was hired to kill a wealthy industrialist, Madhavan Thampi ([[Mani C. Kappan]]) (A contract given by Thampi's estranged son, through his first marriage). Nandu ([[Nandini (actress)\|Nandini]]) - Thampi's daughter through his second wife - falls in love with Devarajan and they both get married. With the birth of Appu, a behavioral transition happens and Devarajan renounces his ruffian past. Gradually, Devarajan becomes a trusted confidant of Thampi in his business ventures. Five days after Appu's second birthday, Thampi is killed and Devarajan is blamed for the act - his past and the contract once he accepted, substantiates the claim. Rigorous imprisonment of five years is awarded to Devarajan. After the expiration of the term, Nandu moves for a divorce.		A flashback narration by Father Varghese ([[Rajan P.

A flashback narration by Father Varghese ([[Rajan P. Dev]]) reveals that, once Devarajan ([[Mammootty]]), as a local hitman was hired to kill a wealthy industrialist, Madhavan Thampi ([[Mani C. Kappan]]) (A contract given by Thampi's estranged son, through his first marriage). Nandu ([[Nandini (actress)|Nandini]]) - Thampi's daughter through his second wife - falls in love with Devarajan and they both get married. With the birth of Appu, a behavioral transition happens and Devarajan renounces his ruffian past. Gradually, Devarajan becomes a trusted confidant of Thampi in his business ventures. Five days after Appu's second birthday, Thampi is killed and Devarajan is blamed for the act - his past and the contract once he accepted, substantiates the claim. Rigorous imprisonment of five years is awarded to Devarajan. After the expiration of the term, Nandu moves for a divorce.
