Plot


Philipose John Varkey, a nature enthusiast, sends letters to 100 people to save an unknown tribal village called "7000 Kandi". Various people came, and some returned as they realised the village was haunted. But six people (Shanumgan Ilangovan, Madhumita Krishnan, C. K. A. K. Menon, Beeran, Prof. N. Neelakandan, and Ananthakrishnan Iyer) came to the village with the help of Malavedan. Philipose informs them about a treaty between a landlord and the Livingston company 150 years ago. As per the treaty, the company is authorized to make the forest an industrial area or a plantation for the next 150 years. If they fail, the forest goes to the government of India. If they succeed in the mission, they can extend the validity to 350 more years. Now, the company has become aware of some rare earth minerals there and want to explore them. Hence, they appoint the Bangalore brothers to cut down the trees. Philipose convinces others about the importance of saving 7000 Kandi and the tribe who were mistaken as ghosts by the natives. With the help of six members, Philipose and the tribals try to stop the Bangalore brothers. They succeeded in the mission and the Bangalore brothers left the place intact. Later, it is revealed that the treaty is valid for four months too and the mission was now to hand it over to an international firm and the tribals should fight with the company to live on their own land. The film ends with Philipose, the tribals, and the six battling the company.
