Plot
Ajayan (Tovino Thomas) is an introverted young man who works in a nearby hotel. He often travels to meet Chenbakam (Saranya Ponvannan) who runs a catering service and supplies idlis to the hotel where Ajayan is working. He shares a bond with Chenbakam as she treats him like her own son.
One dark night, a loud noise is heard from Chenbakam's house around 12:30 am. It is found that Chenbakam has been stabbed and she was struggling for her life. Neighbours see a person running from the spot. Chenbakam died on the way to the hospital and Police is informed about the incident.
For one year, the case did not end and the culprits are not found by the local police. This led to frustration among the public and the case is transferred to the Crime Branch. Pressurized,the crime branch police decided to fix Ajayan as the culprit to solve the case. They created suitable evidences to fix Ajayan as the murderer.
Ajayan accepted the crime because of the torture that he had experienced by the police.While in remand, a convict asks him to appeal to the judge to fix a lawyer for him on his side. The court points Hanna (Nimisha Sajayan) as the legal aid for Ajayan. Initially, she hesitates to take the case, but after unraveling the truth behind the case, she shows real interest in it.
Hanna proves Ajayan as innocent after a series of investigations and arguments in the court. She won the case against his former senior lawyer, Santosh Narayan (Nedumudi Venu).
