Plot
Blade Purushottaman, nicknamed Parunthu Purushu for the way he preys on his targets, is a heartless financier. His rude and insulting ways of talking to people who owe him money have hurt many people. Vinayan, a young youth joins Parunthu Purushu to fight against Kallayi Azeez, who is Purushu's rival from childhood for his family needs.
Once Parunthu spoils the betrothal ceremony of Rakhi, the daughter of a Gujarati businessman Hemanth Bhai, who owes Parunthu a large sum. After the death of Hemanth Bhai, Rakhi takes money from Azeez. But for Azeez it was a trap and he wants more than money in return.
Later, Azeez sends his henchman Prabhakaran to attack Purushu and brings him close to death. He is saved by Rakhi and Vinayan. This changes Purushu and he decides to be a good man from then. The rest of the movie is about whether the people can accept him in his new character.
