Prince is an amateur race car driver who spends his days racing, hanging out at his farmhouse, and entertaining his nephews. He fights with local goons in Bangalore, which lands him in trouble with the police. His brothers Jayan and Balan come to his aid and help secure his release from the police station.

His father, Bharathan Menon, disapproves of Prince's carefree lifestyle and begins seeking a suitable alliance for him. The mounting pressure from his family strains their relationship and sets up a clash of values.

Sadasivan introduces Prince to Pavithran, who asks for help kidnapping his girlfriend so they can elope. In a comedy of errors, Prince and Sadasivan drug and kidnap a girl who shares the name Anju, not the intended partner. The real Anju remains at a girls' hostel.

The next morning Prince realizes the mistake and drops the kidnapped girl back at her hostel. Anju later comes to stay at Prince's farmhouse, and her presence triggers distrust and resentment within Prince's family. Ultimately, Prince's entire family deserts him.

Das and Maya reveal in a news report that Anju is Colonel Devan Nambiar's daughter and that the dead girl was her twin sister, Manju. They hint at a tragic past linking the sisters and the Colonel's actions.

Two years earlier in Ooty, Manju was raped by a group of men who used her father as a hostage, and she killed herself in front of him. In response, Nambiar hunted down and killed her rapists, and he was sentenced to death.

Following these events, the court sentences Nambiar to death for killing the rapists. The punishment adds moral weight to Anju's struggle and frames her decision in a larger collision of justice and vengeance.

A mercy petition is presented, and Nambiar's death sentence is reduced to life imprisonment.

On the day of Nambiar's execution, Anju plans to kill herself to join him in death, but Prince steps in to prevent it. He helps steer her toward choosing life, and their bond deepens.

In the end, Prince and Anju confess their love for each other, signaling a new chapter beyond the tangled past.
