Plot

The scion of the Thekkumkoor royal family, Valiya Thamburan (meaning big leader), wants to introduce his heir Mahendra Varma to democracy. But Mahendra Varma is not interested in politics and is not very astute in the political game early in his political journey. For this sole purpose, Valiya Thamburam bribes the Chief Minister to make Mahendra Varma a minister in the current state government.

Once in power, Mahendra Varma tries to be independent from the Chief Minister's government and helps his friend Jayan, who is against the policies of the Chief Minister. Mahendra Varma after seeing the atrocities committed by the current political system joins forces with Jayan to improve the political scene of the state.
