Plot
Sasikala Varghese joins as a news reporter in a Malayalam daily named "Keralarema", which is owned by M. K. Abraham. Sasikala stays with her friend, Dr. Suma. Sasikala is assigned to interview Ravi Varma, who is sentenced to death for the murder of his wife Mercy, who is also Sasikala's sister. Supreme court had sentenced Ravi to death and the president also rejected Ravi's appeal. Sasikala covers and publishes the story of Ravi Varma and is well acclaimed and appreciated by Abraham, her boss, during the official meeting. They were also surprised on a feedback letter that had reached Keralarema office regarding the published article.
The film then turns to flashback. Ravi Varma is a wealthy man and the owner of an advertising agency. Mercy was employed as a clerk in a firm, and is a classical dancer too. Ravi had met Mercy during a dance program hosted at the club. He had then proposed with an offer for Mercy join his advertising agency as a model, which Mercy rejects instantly. However, on losing her job as a clerk and her family (consisting of an ill father, a younger sister and brother) being dependent on her income, she is forced to join Ravi's advertising agency. The advertising agency flourishes well with the utilization of Mercy's modelling skills. A career oriented Ravi, in order to make Mercy stay with his firm always, proposes to Mercy and they get registry-married, as they belong to different religions. After a week-long honeymoon, Ravi forces his wife to pose for modelling with a half-dressed costume, which Mercy couldn't accept. This leads to indifference in their family life. Once Ravi learns that his wife is pregnant, an argument begins again regarding the fatherhood of the conceived child, and Ravi asks his wife to move out of his house. Mercy then takes shelter in her friend, Dr Suma's house. Divorce was filed by Ravi, and it was granted with the verdict that Ravi needs to compensate his wife and child on a monthly basis until the child becomes a youth. A drunken Ravi visits Mercy and tells her that instead of paying the compensation monthly, he would pay her all the money at once. Ravi then pulls a knife and murders Mercy.
A day before his scheduled execution, Ravi Varma escapes prison, and accidentally meets Sasikala. He learns that Sasikala and Mercy are sisters and informs the truth. Ravi loved Mercy and never pressured her for any modelling assignments. Ajith used to blackmail Mercy, by showing Mercy's nude photographs which he had clicked. Fearing social stigma, Mercy divorces Ravi unwillingly. Ajith later tries to molest Mercy, kills her and flees. Since Ravi was on the murder spot, he was taken into custody by the police. To avenge this, Ravi escapes from the prison and kills Ajith.
