In one of the party, Vasco Da Gama will be seen with his young son Estevao who plays the key role in the movie.
Coming to the present, Krishna Das (Prithviraj) along with his friends runs a music troupe in Goa. While Krishna Das's life seems good, one day a multinational mining company owner goes to Krishna Das and says about their ancestral property in Kerala. Krishna Das’s mother (expired few years ago) gives the land for lease to a NGO. As the lease period has elapsed, Krishna Das has all rights to sell the property to the Mining Company. Also, Krishna Das will be given a very huge amount as advance from the Mining Company. But, there will be some problem with the NGO’s leaving in that area. To solve the issue, Krishna Das will leave to Kerala.
As soon as Krishna Das enters Tamil Nadu he will be kidnapped by the NGOs living in his land. The NGOs take Krishna Das to their chief Thandachan (Arya). Chief Thandachan narrates Krishna Das the story of Portugal’s and the descendant Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar. Krishna Das happens to be the ancestor of Vasco Da Gama.
How Krishna Das realizes the greatness of the Portugal’s land and how he protects the land from Multinational Mine Company forms the rest of the story.
