Once Parunthu spoils the betrothal ceremony of Rakhi (Lakshmi Rai), the daughter of a Gujarati businessman Hemanth Bhai (Jagathy Sreekumar), who owes Parunthu a large sum. After the death of Hemanth Bhai, Rakhi takes money from Azeez, who is Purushu's rival from childhood. But for Azeez it was a trap and he wants more than money in return.
