From Thrissur, the Gold Capital of India, Muthu and Kannan are gold brokers. The movie depicts their voyage to Mumbai to distribute gold as well as the subsequent setbacks they encounter. On one of the trips, Kannan goes missing and is later found dead in a hotel room. The cops contact his wife, Keerthy, to ask her to verify his identity. The police report that the door was closed from the outside using a different lock, the room was a total mess and Kannan was hanging from the fan with a pool of blood on the floor. He had several wounds on his body, which suggests that he was more likely murdered, according to the results of the postmortem. The 8 kg of gold supposed to be with Kannan, is found to be missing. Muthu and his colleagues enlist the help of Inspector Jayant Sakhalkar from Chembur Police Station to conduct an inquiry into Kannan's death. As the inquiry goes on, it is revealed that Kannan planned his own murder with the assistance of his two other friends, Arul and Abbas, unable to get out of the debt he was in at the time. He told Arul only of his murder plan, and Abbas was told to create disarray in Kannan's hotel room, inflict wounds on Kannan's body, take the 2 kg of gold that Kannan had, and leave Kannan tied up in the room, locking the door from outside, with another lock. After Abbas left, Kannan untied himself and hung himself from the ceiling fan. Kannan did not have 8 kg of gold in his possession as he tried to present it to Muthu and everyone else.
