Plot
[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (September 2020) |
Venugopal is the lead singer of the music band "Hits Orchestra". The band consists of keyboard player Tony Fernandez, Tabalist Shakkeer Bhai, guitarist Kannan, and violinist Babu. Despite performing well, the band struggles financially.
Venugopal falls in love with Lakshmi, the daughter of rich entrepreneur Sreedhara Panikkar. One night, Panikkar and his associates, Ganapathi and his car driver Appukuttan, decide to assault Venugopal. Venugopal plays dead using blood-coloured dye, which leads them to believe he has been murdered. They seal him in a box and decide to bury him in their house, without realising that his friends are playing close by and assisting him in escaping. Later, Venugopal returns claiming to be a Central Bureau of Investigation officer named Krishnakumar and Venugopal's twin brother, along with his helper, Mukundan. He accuses Panikkar of being the murderer and threatens him with the death penalty. Panikkar falls unconscious, and Venugopal later forgives him. However, Ganapathi is planning something wicked.
