“Some are born heroes”

John Abraham Palackal (Mammootty) is a man the students of Thiruvananthapuram know by reputation, drawn into a feud between two schools on opposite sides of the city's money. One set of boys fights to get by, while the other spends its days finding joy in drugs. Shankar Ramakrishnan fills the frame with a crowd of young faces and keeps the pace restless, so no one boy is ever allowed to stand alone.
