Summary

Chacko (Asif Ali) lost his parents early in his life. After years of struggle, he ends up with a gang of friends who steal bicycles for a living. Their fate changes when they try to aim for more. A heist goes wrong and the gang gets split. Chacko moves to another place where he continues with his tricks, on a bigger scale. During one of those endeavors he meets Meera (Aparna Gopinath), a bank employee, and they fall in love.

The first half of the film is used to introduce each character, without divulging many details; the viewer may guess that they all could have a possible role in the suspense later on.[2][3]
