Synopsis
On receiving news that her father is admitted in hospital, Lalitha returns to Kerala with her daughter from Mumbai. Her husband Sukumaran was a journalist in Mumbai and was killed few years ago by an underworld don, Robert d'Souza, for publishing news against his illegal smuggling activities. Now as his deals have been on a diminishing note, Robert had returned to Kerala with his remaining valuables. However, Kerala police had received information on his arrival via bus, and he was chased by police. Robert manages to escape from the bus and snatches a bike on the way. The bike skids off the road and Robert has an injury. Police search for him in the nearby vicinity where they found the bike. Coincidentally it happens to be the neighbourhood of Lalitha's house. Unaware of the same, Robert breaks into Lalitha's house. Though police arrive for searching Lalitha's house, she assuredly tells them that Robert has not broken into her house. Owing to this, the police leave without searching.
Lalitha then goes to hospital, and returns by evening. She then traces the presence of someone in the house. In order to escape from the stranger in the house, she runs to the car. However Robert follows her to the car. Robert tries to prevent her from moving. Lalitha bangs him on his head with a torch, and as he is dead, she drops the corpse in the beach and returns as if nothing had happened.
Vijaya Chandran, a businessman follows Lalitha. Though she is not happy in meeting him, he follows her. Once he visits Lalitha's father and introduces him as Sukumaran's friend in Mumbai. He also reveals a proposal to Lalitha, which she denies. He then reveals to Lalitha what good friends they were. He is an IPS officer in Mumbai fighting against the underworld. However, after the death of Sukumaran, he is quite a bit down in his approach. She is also informed that Robert is not dead and is still following her. Whether they succeed against Robert concludes the story.
