==Plot==
Madhava Menon is a respected retired police officer and has two daughters, Meera and Meena. Narasimhan, an efficient police commissioner in [[Tamil Nadu]], marries Meera and Nandagopan, an inspector in the [[Kerala Police]] who does homework more efficiently than his official work, marries Meena. They all live very happily. A twist happens in Madhava Menon's life when the state legislative election is announced. The leader of a political party digs out an old case (the death of a teenage boy in police custody) in order to trap another leader in the opposition party. The case begins to draw big attention, and the press comes to Madhava Menon's house to ask him about the case because he was in charge of the police station when the boy died. He tells the media that he killed the boy. It was a surprise to his daughters and sons-in-law. Soon he is arrested and put into jail. Narasimhan and Nandagopan join hands and search for the truth as they are sure their father-in-law did not do such a thing. Also, they doubt that he agreed to have committed the crime to save someone else. Through a series of investigations, Narasimhan and Nandagopan find the original culprit and prove Madhava Menon's innocence.
