Bhujanga has invested in a small commercial property next to his house, which he has let out to the shopkeepers and except one of his shop lies vacant. He is short-tempered and doesn't want his daughter to study further and wants her to get married. His anger increases when his daughter has been arrested for staging a protest, during the time he meets his friends every evening inside the vacant shop and they bond every night over a few drinks.
Bhujanga witnesses a prostitute Susheela (Priyamani) and wants to bond with her, however despite his intentions Bhujanga gets scared fearing that his reputation will be tarnished. During one such evening, Shiva (Satyadev Kancharana / Aravind Kuplikar) an auto rickshaw driver and a friend of Rajeeva locks the prostitute along with Bhujanga inside the vacant shop promising to unlock the shop shutter after they spend some time together inside the locked shop.
Meanwhile, Shiva meets one of his passengers, a film director (Prudhviraj / Achyuth Kumar), who had forgotten his bag in Shiva's autorickshaw that morning. Director on knowing that he would get his bag back, celebrates by offering a couple of drinks to Shiva, however both get into trouble with the cops and fails to return that night to open the shutter as promised to Bhujanga. They both get released in morning as the inspector Ramdas (Rangayana Raghu) is a good friend of the director. Both Bhujanga and Susheela spend a couple of nights together inside the locked shutter waiting for Shiva's return to unlock it.
