Plot

Devarmadom Narayanan is accused of killing his father Ramankutty, for being cruel to his loving mother, at the age of 13 and serves a sentence in a juvenile home. When he returns, he becomes leader of the people of Perumalpuram village. He ensures the village is devoid of all wrongdoers by expelling them. His adversaries are his uncle Muppil Kunjambu Nair and wife Indrani. Kunjambu hated Narayanan for killing his brother, although Kunjambu and his eldest son Giri tried in many ways to kill Narayanan. At one point, Giri almost succeeded in nearly killing Narayanan. Narayanan again did not react. He was on good terms with Kunjambu's daughter and his cousin. Giri tries to sell his land in Perumalpuram to some outsider whose arrival, Narayanan knew, would destroy the harmony of the village. That is when Narayanan decides to react.

It turns out that Kunjambu was the one who actually killed his father for their wealth. Narayanan helps Ali Raghavan, the real son of Kunjambu, to gain his birthright. When Giri finds that he is the stepson of Kunjambu, he kills Kunjambu. The family drives him away from home with the help of Narayanan. The rest of the film is about if and how Giri takes revenge on Narayanan. And Giri is defeated by Narayanan during the fight. But unexpectedly, Giri is killed by Kumaran.
