Jose, known as Pambu Jose (Biju Menon), is a dreaded underworld don and his rival is Minnal Thankan (P.Balachandran). Jose's close aide is Ninja Hakkim (Anil Murali) and gun moll is Rita (Devi Ajith) along with blind man Vinayakan (Vinayakan). Raghava Menon (Jayaram), a police officer gets into the gang and becomes close to Jose like Hakkim. No one knows that Raghava Menon's goal is to wipe out the mafia.
