Tharun was a normal middle-class young man who had just graduated from college with a degree in computer science. He was bright and talented, and he had always been fascinated by the world of information technology.

After completing his studies, Tharun landed a job in the IT industry, working for a large software development company.

Tharun takes time off from work to attend his sister's wedding. While on leave, he and his girlfriend Tara go on a date for her birthday where they encounter Alwin, sitting in a car with Mukundan.

Alwin and Mukundan convince Tharun that they are police officers and that he and Tara will be arrested if they don't escort them.

Tharun and Tara are mentally tortured while driving around with Alwin and Mukundan. Alwin tries to make a move on Tara while Tharun is away. Tired of Alwin's actions, Mukundan leaves the three of them alone.

Alwin continues to harass them but leaves after Tharun pays him off. The two then go to Tara's hostel without speaking. A frustrated Tharun asks Tara what Alwin has done to her. Upset by his question and the fact that he didn't ask her if she was okay, she insults him and gets out of the car and Tharun angrily drives back home.

While Tharun is restless at home, he decides to take revenge. He goes back to the place where he originally met Alwin and discovers that Alwin is just an ambulance driver and Mukundan is a tailor. Tharun finds Alwin's address and goes to his house while he is away. He is greeted by Alwin's wife, Maria, and his daughter, Mia (Lakshmi Nanda Kishore). He enters the house and makes a scene. When Alwin arrives home, he and Tharun get into a fight, with Tharun breaking Alwin's legs. Tharun attempts to leave but is stopped by a procession on the road. Tharun begins to torture Alwin's wife and daughter in the same way Alwin tortured him and his girlfriend.

Alwin's friends arrive outside his house. He attempts to call to them for help but stops when Tharun threatens to kill his daughter. Meanwhile, Maria overhears Alwin's friends talking about Tharun's incident. As his friends leave, Maria angrily questions Alwin, who confesses that he tried to sexually assault Tara, but she fought back.

Tharun apologizes to Maria and leaves the broken family alone. Maria takes her daughter inside, while Alwin lies in the room immobilized. A happy and relaxed Tharun meets Tara that night.

The next day, Tara joins Tharun at her college. Still angry at his question, she asks what else he wants to know. He pulls his car over and takes Mukundan out of the trunk. Mukundan apologizes and Tharun offers him money to get back home. Still angry, Tara asks Tharun if he would've abandoned her, had Alwin done something to her.

Tharun refuses to reply and changes the topic by proposing to her for her birthday. She turns him down as she does not want to live with Tharun anymore.

Both of them had to undergo so much on that fateful night. After that the tharun refuses to attend her calls. The reason, he thinks the alwin touched her and now she is not worthy of his love. From this we can realise that he was in love with just her body and not the person she was."

Tharun put a ring to her ring finger but she slowly show the middle finger and she say

"F U C K Y O U"
