The story revolves around two young men, Vikraman and Adithyan, whose lives are intertwined by fate, rivalry, and the identity of their fathers.
1. The Backstory: The story begins with Kunjikannan (Anoop Menon), a man who fails to achieve his dream of becoming a police officer due to a physical disqualification. He raises his son, Vikraman, with the singular goal of making him a police officer. Meanwhile, Vasudev Shenoy (also played by Anoop Menon in a dual role)—a successful police officer—raises his son, Adithyan (Dulquer Salmaan). Adithyan is the naturally gifted but arrogant son
2. The Switch & The Rivalry: Due to complicated family circumstances and a mix-up at the time of birth/conception, the boys are raised by the "wrong" fathers. Vikraman grows up under the strict discipline of Kunjikannan, groomed to be a police officer. Adithyan, raised by the easygoing Shenoy, grows up to be a carefree, slightly mischievous, but kind-hearted young man.
A fierce rivalry develops between Vikraman and Adithyan. Vikraman is the model student: disciplined, focused, and physically fit. Adithyan is the underdog: talented but distracted, often seen as a loser by society.
3. The Love Interest: Both men fall in love with the same woman, Deepthi Pai (Namitha Pramod). She is a spirited young woman who shares a history with Adithyan but is also impressed by Vikraman’s stability. This love triangle fuels their competitive fire. The film was both a critical and commercial
4. The Climax & Resolution: The central tension is whether the "failure" father (Kunjikannan) can produce a successful son, and whether the "successful" father (Shenoy) has raised a good man. The film culminates in a showdown where both men attempt to clear the rigorous police service exams.
A crowd-filled courtyard, two boys daring each other to leap from a height while the rest of the village watches—this opening image in S. S. Rajamouli‑protégé actor-director duo’s Vikramadithyan (2014) sets the tone: a public test of courage that becomes a private crucible of identity. The film arrives as a compact Malayalam drama that folds together friendship, rivalry, social expectation, and the long shadow of a single moment into an affecting, morally ambiguous narrative.
