Plot

Narayanankutty, who is aspiring to be a lawyer, finds himself working as a government office clerk. Undeterred by this unexpected turn, Narayanankutty becomes renowned as 'Vakkaalaththu Narayanankutty' for his unique approach to justice – filing Public-Interest Litigations against those who break the law. His commitment to justice becomes a double-edged sword, attracting the ire of certain individuals. The story takes a dark twist when he is framed in a rape case, facing serious consequences. Undeterred, Narayanankutty refuses to lose faith in the legal system and continues his fight against the wrongdoers.[4]
