The article gets published and the students who appeared in the photos are suspended from their college. One of them tries to commit suicide due to shame and gets admitted in the hospital. The college students go into a rebellion against the newspaper and create a lot of problems, which are solved temporarily by a tactful police officer, Prathapan, (Mammootty).
A gang of 4 students who got suspended lead by Damu (Ashokan) and Appukkuttan (Vineeth) kidnaps Usha, locks her up inside Damu's banglow, harasses and injects her with drugs. Usha later saves the boys when a fire breaks out at the banglow. Eventually, she manages to change the mindset of these 4 guys while staying in that house.
