{{more plot|date=September 2020}}
Venugopal ([[Mukesh (actor)|Mukesh]]) is the lead singer of music band "Hits Orchestra". The troop consists of keyboard player Tony Fernandez ([[Siddique (actor)|Siddique]]), Tabalist Shakkeer Bhai ([[Kunchan (actor)|Kunchan]]), guitarist Kannan ([[Maniyanpilla Raju]]) and violinist Babu ([[Idavela Babu]]). Despite performing well, the troop struggle financially.

Venugopal falls in love with Lakshmi ([[Geetha Vijayan]]), the daughter of rich entrepreneur Sreedhara Panikkar ([[Innocent (actor)|Innocent]]). One night, Panikkar and his associates, Ganapathi([[Jagathy Sreekumar]])and his car driver Appukuttan([[Mala Aravindan]]), decide to assault Venugopal. Venugopal plays dead using blood-coloured dye, which leads them to believe he has been murdered. They seal him in a box and decide to bury him in their house, without realising that his friends are playing behind and make him escape. Later, Venugopal returns claiming to be a [[Central Bureau of Investigation]] officer named Krishnakumar and Venugopal's twin brother, along with his helper, Mukundan ([[Jagadish]]). He accuses Panikkar as the murderer, and threatens on death penalty. Panikkar falls unconcious, and Venugopal later forgives him. However, Ganapathi is planning something wicked.
