Plot

Podiyan Pillai's lover, Vasanthi, and Ammini Pillai's wife, Rukmini, are neighbours and close friends. One of the most respected people in the town is Ammini. In the town, when Podiyan visits Vasanthi for sex one night, Ammini sees it and slaps him. Podiyan became enraged by this and attacks Ammini in the dark, with his friends. During the attack, Podiyan hacks Ammini and he is bedridden for a couple of months as a result of the attack. In order to teach Podiyan and his friends a lesson, he decides to do so in such a way that society will acknowledge it as well. The ego of Podiyan and his friends are hurt when Ammini chose not to file a lawsuit, but instead decided to deal with things on his own. They are not sure what to do about the crisis and are looking for a way to ensure that they do not face Ammini's wrath. Vengeance is taken by Ammini, one by one against Podiyan's friends, who are relieved of the stress of Ammini's revenge. In the meantime, Vasanthi finds out she is pregnant before her upcoming wedding with Podiyan. The couple fled to a hideout where Podiyan was supplied by his friends. Even though Ammini has not yet slapped Podiyan, Rukmini insists that the wedding goes on as soon as possible. While Ammini is in his lighthouse just before the wedding, Rukmini and Podiyan lock him inside to ensure Podiyan does not have to go to the wedding slapped. The moment Rukmini realises that she has made the wrong decision and tries to open the door, but to no avail. Aminni jumps out the lighthouse window to escape and breaks his arm. On the wedding day, Rukmini takes revenge for her husband by slapping Podiyan as Ammini was present at the wedding. The film ends with Podiyan and his friends in a car heading towards the wall where Aminni had crossed off their names when they were slapped. Ammini was standing there without Podiyan's name crossed off, leaving the movie on a cliffhanger.
