The scion of the Thekkumkoor royal family Valiya Thamburan (Bhasi) wants to introduce his heir, Mahendra Varma (Mohanlal), to democracy. For this sole purpose, he bribes the Chief Minister (Balan K. Nair) to make Mahendra a minister in the current government. Once in power, Mahendra Varma tries to be independent from the Chief Minister's government and helps his friend Jayan (Suresh Gopi), who is against the policies of the Chief Minister.
