Spoilers ahead
Sethumadhavan, Mohanlal, is released after seven years in central jail for murdering Keerikadan Jose, a hardcore criminal. Though the killing was accidental, meant to save his own life, society refuses to see it that way, and he is branded as the man who ended the reign of a street-savvy crime lord. On his release, Sethumadhavan visits his younger brother at a medical college, only to be met with cold indifference; Rameshan’s reaction is quiet and firm, indirectly asking him not to return so as not to damage what little reputation remains for the family.
