Plot

The plot revolves around the Coimbatore bomb blast, where a special team under Stalin Manimaran, arrests Babu Sait, a local community leader as a suspect in the bomb blast case. One year later, Anwar, a Malayali youth is arrested while carrying with some hawala money, and is sent to prison with Babu Sait and his team. Anwar is fascinated by the terrorist activities of Babu Sait, who helps Anwar in getting bail and interests him in his activities.

Anwar successfully terminates two local drug dealers and becomes the most trusted and obedient right hand of Babu Sait. Anwar succeeds in planting a bomb in the police headquarters and is soon introduced to Basheer Bhai, who selects him to spearhead another big, but dangerous project of chain blasts in Mumbai. Though Anwar goes on with their plans, Babu Sait shows the pictures of the Coimbatore blast, which diverts Anwar to his past.

Past: Anwar is an NRI, who returns from USA for his sister Asna's wedding in a rural area of Palakkad, where he meets and falls for Asna's best friend Aayisha, who later accepts his proposal. When Anwar and his family went for shopping to Coimbatore, a sudden blast occurs which killed his whole family, leaving Anwar as the sole survivor, but Aayisha is later arrested for the blast. Anwar requests Stalin for her bail, but the latter refuses due to lack of evidence. Later, Anwar begins to assist Stalin in the discovery of the terrorists and their nefarious activities and later joins Babu Sait's gang in order to learn about their next attack.

Present: Anwar reveals about the bomb blasts planned by Babu Sait to Stalin in their secret meeting, where Stalin also brings Aayisha so that they could meet after a long time. When Babu Sait's men arrive, Stalin tells Anwar to act as if they were having a fight, and one of the Babu Sait's men shoot Stalin, thereby killing him, thinking that Anwar was having a fight. Anwar is given the responsibility of transporting the deadly terrorists to Mumbai, through a ship containing full of explosives and weapons.

At first, Anwar makes them think that he is on their side, but he soon blasts the ship and kills all the terrorists. Babu Sait becomes furious, that Anwar cheated them. When Anwar reveals about his parents, Babu Sait commits suicide. Anwar calls Stalin's phone, which is under police custody, and tells them that the mission is accomplished. Stalin and his colleague receives bravery awards, but no one has recognised the near-death battle, which Anwar has played. Anwar and Aayisha are now, in a quiet place, living together in a small house.
