Nithya, a deputy police commissioner, is assigned a corruption case involving the Home Minister and his friend, a businessman named Rajan Phillip. Unknown to her, a criminal nicknamed Superman helps her in the investigation.
Superman, whose real name is Hareendran, nurtures a vendetta against the Home Minister and uses Nithya to trap his enemies. In the process, Superman uses the judiciary as his weapon and frames the men responsible for his tragic past. He provides vital information to the police for the same. In order to collect evidence, Superman himself breaks the law; but as it is for the greater good, Nithya looks the other way.
The film was a huge success at the box office. The majority of the scenes were shot in Thiruvananthapuram. The climax sequences involved a number of CCTV cameras (which were not popular at the time) and visuals were filmed at Technopark Campus Trivandrum. [1]
