The both group in disguise arrive at Mother's College to meet Vedhika and propose her but she already had an fallen for Unnikrishnan, who was her music teacher Balan’s son and also a senior of hers with whom she had a flashback. Unnikrishnan also happens to be a student of the Travancore College and Member of Real Fighters. He receives a call from Vedhika asking him to come to meet her at railway station at 11:30pm .The Real Fighters support Unnikrishnan to confess his love to Vedika and gives him ring and the key of a colleague's bike. Mani mixes alcohol in their drink, unaware of it Unnikrishnan drinks and is caught by the police and is taken to the custody although he is released later without pressing any charges. The next day, Reji finds Vedhika's corpse behind the men's hostel of the college. Her father Sivanandhan urges the police to find the killer.

The team under ACP John Thekkan starts the investigation. Later, the investigation leads to Unnikrishnan, who received the last phone call from Vedhika before her death. Thekkan arrests Unnikrishnan forcefully and questions him. Later Unnikrishnan is found dead inside the police interrogation room. This leads to a quarrel between the police and the students in which Thekken gets seriously injured and hospitalised. In his absence, the investigation is handed over to ACP Bhavani Durga and her team. Bhavani orders to arrest Roshan. This is because according to an evidence the murderer is observed to be nearly 6-ft tall and Roshan has a similar physique. This leads to yet another dispute between the police and the campus and the police is prevented by the Home minister from entering the campus. At the same time, a person named Edward Livingston joins the college as the new professor in English Literature. Professor Cherian, who is the college vice principal and also Roshan's father talks to Edward about his life as a divorcee. He tells Eddy that Roshan is innocent as he was at his mother's house at the night the murder happened. In a meeting between the police and campus, Edward talks to the officials that the students are not responsible for the murder and also that the police is responsible for Unnikrishnan's death.

After few days, Shivanandan sends his goons to the college so that the suspected students can be handed over to police. But Edward intervenes and thrashes the goons. He also unites Real Fighters and Royal Warriors and fight the goons together. Later, Edward notices that the new men who were appointed as workers in various department fields were actually police officers. He warns the students not to leave the campus at any cost. Despite his warning, Roshan, Mahesh and a colleague leave to a wedding reception to meet Mahesh's girlfriend Ramlath where they are spotted by a suspended police officer Ramachandran. Thekkan, who is back on duty apprehends them and gets hold of Roshan, while his friends escape. Roshan is taken to a hideout, but Edward and team tracks them and saves Roshan.

Edward and the students promise to the police and media that they will find out the murderers of Vedika and Unnikrishnan within 10 days. Edward asks Roshan to reunite his parents who have been separated for 3 years, which he does. Mahesh tells the team that Ramlath is being forced by her family for an alliance which she doesn't like. He goes to meet Ramlath, but is arrested by police and Ramlath is taken to custody by Ramachandran. Ramlath is forcefully taken to his guest house where Edward saves her by defeating Ramachandran. And the next day, Edward reveals to the press that he found the culprit and takes Ramachandran to the media where he reveals that he did all these for Thekkan leaving everybody astonished. He reveals that it was Thekkan, who murdered Vedhika and later instructed Ramachandran to murder Unnikrishnan.

Thekkan had a grudge against Vedhika as Ramlath who is Vedhika's close friend, discovered John's illegal relationship with Minister Seethalakshmi, who is the wife of a deceased politician Krishnadas. It is revealed that Krishnadas was murdered by Thekkan and Ramachandran when he found out his wife's extramarital relationship with Thekkan, who was raised by Krishnadas. Ramlath who understood all these informed Vedhika about the same and Vedhika, who wanted to inform Unni about the incident was kidnapped and killed by Thekkan and Ramachandran. Unnikrishnan was arrested on purpose and was killed as Thekkan understood Unni had known certain facts about Vedhika's death. After Ramachandran reveals all these to the public, he is shot and killed by Thekkan who tries to escape, but Edward overpowers and kills Thekkan with his pistol while Seethalakshmi gets arrested.

Later, Cherian along with Roshan and Mahesh and other students protest outside the police station to leave Edward. However, they are shocked to see the other person in the same name. Cherian and students learn that the Edward, who was with them is an IPS officer named Anto Antony from the Central Home Department and also that the police disguised as workers in the college, were actually his teammates.

Mukesh was reported to appear in a role of vice principal at the college, while Unni Mukundan's character was confirmed to be not a student. Regarding the character of Mammootty, Ajai Vasudev said, "He plays a strict college professor who doesn't mollycoddle his students, a rough and tough character with a short temper.

Sify rated 3 out of 5 stars and concluded the film as a masala entertainer.

[27] Behindwoods gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and wrote "Masterpiece is a typical thriller. Mammooty's fans will find it more entertaining."
