Plot

Tony, a former mobster, lives quietly with his wife Neethu and newborn child in an old mansion after reforming. The vengeful gangster Prakash Kamath, whom Tony and his friends once tried to assassinate, sends two henchmen to end Tony's peaceful life. Tony's childhood friends and fellow gangsters—Ayyappan, Fakeer, Benny, and Geevarghese—arrive to protect him. After a brief confrontation, the group reaches an uneasy truce, lays down their weapons, and shares a meal, having grown up together. Seeking a way to save Tony, the friends visit a fixer named Chettiyar and his prostitute partner Vijanasurabhi. Chettiyar offers two options: kill a gangster who is Kamath's rival, or loot a large quantity of foreign currency being transported. The gang chooses the first option, and Tony makes them promise to care for his wife and son if anything happens to him. They meet at a cinema theatre where the gangster is about to make a deal, but Kamath arrives as the second party because Chettiyar double-crossed them. Kamath humiliates Tony, who then shoots Kamath, sparking a gunfight in which both are shot. The rival gangster, cornered by Kamath's men, agrees to share territory and profits and to kill the friends. The group escapes with the severely wounded Tony to an underground clinic. After the doctor removes the bullets, Kamath and his men arrive for treatment. The friends hide Tony, but he wakes and collapses. Kamath takes Tony hostage and shoots him. Nearing death, Tony asks his friends to take him back to Neethu and his daughter.
