Plot



Following a tip from a small-time lodge owner, the ATS conducts a search at the rooms where a group of suspicious youths stayed. Baba Kalyani IPS, the head of ATS M3-division finds certain clues, which he wants to follow. With the permission from IG Bose Ninan, Baba Kalyani arrives in Kochi, and is posted in the Law and order department with Thomas and a couple of ATS officers assisting him. All his men are newly inducted IPS officers. At Kochi, Kalyani clashes with Adv. Ashokan and his daughter Madhumitha, who was his ex-girlfriend. A bundle of counterfeit currency is found at a local bank, which was transferred from the account of a charity organization run by Sait Issa Mohammed Haji, a respected businessman.
Baba Kalyani reaches the residence of Issa Mohammed on the same night, where Issa denies any knowledge about any hawala dealings in the state. The cash was transferred from the account by Issa Mohammed's son-in-law Babu, who is a college lecturer and a leader of a terror organization in the state. He is with a bunch of young men who had secretly undergone Jihad training in Pakistan and is planning a massive explosion. Unaware of this, Issa supports him thinking Babu is a normal college lecturer busy with his own life. One morning, Issa arrives at Baba Kalyani's residence, informing about a group of suspicious young men recently seen at the nearby mosque. He also adds that the Muslyar of the mosque has some doubts regarding their activities.
Along with Thomas and their group, Baba Kalyani conducts a raid at the house and gathers vital information. The house gets blown up, signing the storage of inflammable explosives. From the prints, maps and photographs, Baba Kalyani concludes that their next target is Palani, a divine pilgrimage center in South India. He arrives at Palani along with his team, where he meets up Tamil Nadu IG Raghupathi. With the support of local cops, Baba seizes the trucks in which the explosives were stored, where he sends Issa Mohammed as a negotiator to Babu who was hiding along with the jihadis. Unwilling to give up the plan, Babu decides to shoot down Issa. The ATS team conducts a commando operation and shoots down the jihadis, including Babu, thus aborting their plan. Baba patches up with Madhumitha, where they happily get married.
