Plot
editThis article needs an improved plot summary. (September 2020) |
The story is about four thieves-turned-philanthropists, Abu, Balu, Rokky, Sugunan, starting from the time they were thieves. They cross paths by chance and join forces leading to a robbery attempt at a house that goes awry but leads to their reformation at the hands of the house owner who himself is a robber-turned-philanthropist. The plot also shows how Karunan spurs them into robbing the corrupt rich and giving to the poor, in the mould of Robin Hood, portraying two such gutsy episodes; first bringing to book a treacherous money lender Sunny and next an unscrupulous business man and drug-dealer Madhava Menon. The second episode culminates in the murder of an accomplice of Madhava Menon, Dr. Narendran, at the hand of one of the four heroes, but Karunettan owns up to the murder so as to exonerate him and let the good work continue.
