Plot
A castaway man is rescued from sea by a merchant ship. He has no memory about who he is, or any documents to identify himself, only remembering his name, Basheer. The ship captain, John Samuel, wishes to help Basheer find his home, thus he contacts the local authorities for help. Basheer's case is thus given to Adv. Bhaskara Pillai, a brilliant lawyer, who also has a penchant for taking cases related to human rights and civil issues. Pillai, along with his friend, Police Sub Inspector Rajendran, Mentor Adv. Menon, and Menon's daughter Adv. Geetha, who is also Pillai's junior, try to piece together Basheer's past to find his identity.
Meanwhile, Pillai begins to face unseen threats and attacks from a group of people, intent on stopping him. Pillai soon learns that these attacks are being carried out by a small nexus, which includes the corrupt Home Minister Keshavan and businessman Williams, who are actually targetting Basheer. Pillai and his friends manage to evade their attacks through their quick thinking, but they are occasionally helped by an unknown person named Mr. X. Eventually, with the help of a doctor, they are able to help Basheer regain his memory, who then reveals the truth.
Basheer, along with his friend Bappootty, are hired to work in a ship called Sagar Rani, which is owned by Williams. But midway, they learn that the owners of the ship are planning to deliberately sink it, in order to collect insurance money, with Basheer and Bappootty being collateral damage. Williams' men attack Basheer and his friends after learning they know the truth, and throw Basheer into the sea, believing him dead. But somehow, Basheer survived. Pillai realizes that Keshavan and Williams were trying to silence Basheer, because he knows the truth about the insurance fraud.
Despite enemies, and heavy problems against them, Pillai manages to present Basheer in court by filing a habeas corpus writ against himself for illegally detaining Basheer, and brings the truth to light. The crime is exposed and the criminals are arrested. Basheer is reunited with his family, and placed with police protection. Later, Pillai meets the Chief Minister, who had been keenly following the case, and exposes him as the mysterious Mr. X, who was helping Pillai and Basheer because he wanted to discreetly remove the corrupt and dangerous Keshavan from power, which also ensures a safer future for himself. Pillai thanks the CM, but also warns him of falling in with the wrong group again, unless he also wants to end up another political failure.
