Summary: The fearless newspaper editor Madhavan Kutty
(Mammootty) takes on Kerala’s corrupt
political establishment in order to vindicate his
sweetheart Radha (Seema), the district collector
accused of illegal practices. The villain is the
owner of the Manikyam financial group, who
appears to control the state’s entire
bureaucratic and political apparatus. Personal
rivalries weave into political conflict as
Manikyam implicates Radha’s kid brother Unni
in a smuggling operation. Eventually, when all
legal means fail, the editor, the kid brother and
Vasu (Mohanlal), a reformed gangster formerly
in Manikyam’s employ, establish a secret
hideout where they assemble the documents
that would appear to indict virtually everybody
in power of criminal conspiracies. The film’s
dramatic and wholly unexpected end has all
the good guys gunned down by corrupt cops,
making the fight for justice a virtually hopeless
cause.
