Plot[edit]
It is a political film on trade union and its functioning in factories. Trade Union is headed by Raghavan (Mammootty). Mill Owner brings new manager Mohan Cheriyan (Mohanlal) to solve the company's issues with trade union leaders. Meanwhile Indu, Mill Owner's sister is attracted to Mohan. Nexus between politicians and factory owners dumping workers for their selfish deeds is also highlighted. When the company is about to lay off due to union problems, Raghavan suggests a new formula for solving the company issues and this saves the company. The issue is resolved. However many union members turn against Raghavan. During the climax, chaos breaks out and Raghavan is killed by his own union members who despise him. Mohan is seen holding cloth covered in Raghavan's blood symbolizing Communist flag(red) and idea of "blood and sweat".
