"Vakkalathu Narayanankutty" is a Malayalam film that intricately weaves together the life of its protagonist, Narayanankutty (Jayaram), who, aspiring to be a lawyer, finds himself working as a government office clerk. Undeterred by this unexpected turn, Narayanankutty becomes renowned as 'Vakkaalaththu Narayanankutty' for his unique approach to justice – filing Public-Interest Litigations against those who break the law. His commitment to justice becomes a double-edged sword, attracting the ire of certain individuals. The story takes a dark twist when he is framed in a rape case, facing serious consequences.
