It stars Asif Ali in the lead role alongside Abhirami, Janani Iyer, Sajitha Madathil and Sruthi Lakshmi. The story revolves around the life of a lone male police officer as the driver of eleven female officers,[1] inspired by Asia's first women's police station, inaugurated in 1973 in Kozhikode.[2] The film's shoot started on 7 July 2014,[1] in Thodupuzha.[3]

This movie deals with the difficulties faced by Ramakrishnan (Asif Ali), when he is appointed as a driver at Elathur Police Station. There, he has to deal with Arundhathi Varma, a fiery sub-inspector. He realizes that the police officers are behoved to protect a minister and his family. He is also assigned the responsibility to guard the daughter of the minister (Janani Iyer). At the station they have to deal with Xavier (Sunil Sukhada), an industrialist and a wrongdoer, hand in gloves with the police CI Razak (Sudheer Karamana), who were planning to ruin Arundhathi and her team's reputation.
