Blade Purushottaman (Mammootty), nicknamed Parunthu Purushu for the way he preys on his targets, is a heartless financier. His rude and insulting ways of talking to people who owe him money have hurt many people. Vinayan(Jayasurya) a young youth joins Parunthu Purushu to fight against Azeez, for his family needs. 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.
