Plot
Podiyan Pillai's lover, Vasanthi, and Ammini Pillai's wife, Rukmini, are neighbors and close friends. Ammini is one of the most respected person in town. One night, Podiyan visits Vasanthi; Ammini spots him and slaps him. Podiyan is enraged and attacks Ammini in the dark with his friends, cutting him and leaving him bedridden for a couple of months. To teach Podiyan and his friends a lesson in a publicly acknowledged way, Ammini decides to take matters into his own hands. Podiyan and his friends are humiliated when Ammini chooses not to file a lawsuit but instead deals with things personally. They are uncertain how to handle the crisis and seek to avoid Ammini's wrath. Ammini exacts revenge on Podiyan's friends one by one. Meanwhile, Vasanthi discovers she is pregnant before her upcoming wedding to Podiyan. The couple flee to a hideout, where Podiyan is supplied with necessities by his friends. Even though Ammini has not yet slapped Podiyan, Rukmini insists that the wedding be held as soon as possible. Just before the wedding, while Ammini is in the lighthouse, Rukmini and Podiyan lock him inside. The moment Rukmini realises that she has made the wrong decision, she tries to open the door, but it is locked. Ammini jumps out of the lighthouse window to escape and breaks his arm. On the wedding day, Rukmini avenges her husband by slapping Podiyan, as Ammini is present. The film ends with Podiyan and his friends in a car heading towards the wall where Ammini has crossed off their names upon slapping them. Ammini is standing there with Podiyan's name still not crossed off, leaving the film on a cliffhanger.
