Plot

Podiyan Pilla's lover, Vasanthi, and Ammini Pilla's wife, Rukmini, are neighbors and close friends. One of the most respected people in the town is Ammini Pilla. In the town, when Podiyan Pilla visits Vasanthi for sex one night, Ammini sees it and slaps him. Podiyan Pilla became enraged by this and attacked Ammini Pilla with his friends. During the attack, Ammini Pilla had to lay in bed for a couple of months as a result of the attack. In order to teach Podiyan Pilla and his friends a lesson about trying to live his life, he decides to do so in such a way that society will acknowledge it as well. The ego of Podiyan Pilla and his friends was hurt when Ammini chose not to file a lawsuit, but instead decided to deal with things on his own. They aren't sure what to do about the crisis and are looking for a way to ensure that they don't face Ammini's wrath. Vengeance is taken by Ammini one by one against Podiyan's friends, who are relieved of the stress of Ammini's revenge by being relieved of it. In the meantime, Vasanthi finds out she is pregnant before her upcoming wedding with Podiyan Pilla. The couple fled to a hideout where Podiyan was supplied by his friends. Even though Ammini hasn't yet slapped Podiyan, Rukmini insists that the wedding goes on as soon as possible. While Ammini Pilla is in his lighthouse just before the wedding, his wife Rukmini and Podiyan lock him inside to ensure Podiyan doesn't have to go to the wedding slapped. The moment Rukmini realises that she has made the wrong decision and tries to open the door, but to no avail. Aminni jumps out the lighthouse window to escape and breaks his arm. On the wedding day, Rukmini takes revenge on her husband by slapping Podiyan as Aminni was present at the wedding. The film ends with Podiyan and his friends in a car heading towards the wall where Aminni had crossed off their names when they were slapped.
