Plot
The film starts with NSG Officer Shyam (Suresh Gopi) arresting a terrorist nicknamed Jagmohan Pandey. Justice Usha Varma (Sharada), the judge of the Pandey's trial case, is the sister of Indian Home Secretary Rajagopal Varma (Rajan)(Lalu Alex). In retaliation to the arrest and trial, Pandey's terrorist group kills Unni, Usha's son. Following this incident the government enlists Z Category protection for Justice Usha Varma and her family. Rajan Varma and Balram (Ratheesh) decide to give the assignment to Black Cat Commando Team under Shyam's command. Justice Usha’s family is distrustful and rude towards Shyam due to his brusque manner and soldier's tough attitude. Shyam is always humiliated and scoffed at by the family, especially by the Judge's daughter Manasi (Priya Raman). The only person who seems to understand him and respect him is the Home Secretary Rajan Verma.
Shyam shoots and inadvertently kills Manasi's boyfriend Nathuram (Madhupal), when he tries to trespass her home. Nathuram's death intensifies Usha's and Manasi's hatred towards Shyam . What they all didn't know was that the boyfriend was actually part of the terrorist group planning to kill Usha. Nathuram had been lying that he is based in France, while in reality, he was the son of the terror group's leader and was working with the terrorist group. The terrorists led by Abbas Qureshi later kidnap Manasi in retaliation and thus she understands the truth about Nathuram.
After Manasi's kidnap and learning about her son's assassination, Usha Varma requests Shyam's help to keep her alive until she reads the verdict in Pandey's case at the Supreme Court. Later during the exchange for Manasi's release, Shyam infiltrates the terrorist hideout disguised as Pandey. When the real Pandey manages to escape and notify the terrorists about the 'switch' in the exchange, firefight breaks out between NSG Commandos and terrorists . In the ensuing fight Pandey manages to kill Balram, and then Shyam finishes off both Pandey and Abbas Qureshi. The Varma family thanks him for his help and Manasi apologizes for her hatred towards him.
The ending scene shows Justice Usha’s family seeing Shyam at an airport on new assignment and watching him with respect.
