Dileep plays Ajith Thomas - a gutsy investigative televison reporter who is behind sex rackets trapping innocent girls. The movie is the first one that is entirely shot at Kolkatta.

The director Blessy says that this is his technically best film. Cinematographed by veteran S Kumar, the film is edited by Vijay Shankar.

The music of the film is by Debojyoti Mishra, an onetime assistant to Salil Chowdhary . The early reports suggest the film to be a brilliant effort and a sure shot hit at the box office.
