Plot
Shyam and his six other friends, including Suraj, Shaukath, Arun, Linto, Vijeesh, and Sharath, always play together in their sevens football team. In an attempt to cement their place in the more famous Kozhikode Strikers Club, they take on an opponent player, Aravindan, leading to serious head injuries. Gravely hurt by the plight of Aravindan, they now try to arrange the necessary amount for his surgery by taking up a quotation by a broker named Habib. As days go by, they come across new financial problems and in between take part inadvertently in the homicide of a mafia king’s son. Within hours, the hunters now turn out to be the ones being hunted by the mafia ruling the city.
