Plot

Sreekumar (Jayaram) is a simple, loving husband who manages household chores while his wife, Suja Sreekumar (Mia George), works as a bank manager. Though their marriage appears normal, there are hints that Suja is hiding something. At the same time, Sreekumar himself seems to be running from his past, unwilling to discuss his previous life.

One day, the arrival of Colonel Tomy Eapen Devassy (Suresh Gopi) shatters their peaceful life. Tomy, a high-ranking military officer, seems to know Sreekumar well and tries to get him back to his old life. As the film progresses, we learn that Sreekumar was once a highly skilled military officer who was forced to abandon his duty and live under a new identity.

The Big Revelation: Who is Suja Sreekumar?

As Sreekumar's past starts to catch up with him, another shocking truth is unveiled: Suja Sreekumar was once known as Leena Jacob. She, too, has a hidden past—one that she never shared with her husband. Whether she was connected to the military or involved in some other classified mission is left for the story to explore.

Now, with both Sreekumar and Suja hiding their true identities, their relationship is tested. Meanwhile, their enemies begin closing in, threatening their peaceful life.

The Climax

Forced to confront their pasts, Sreekumar and Suja must work together to escape the dangers that come their way. In an action-packed climax, Sreekumar finally embraces his old self and takes down the threats, proving why he was once a legendary officer.
