Ashiq Abu, a commoner who has a history of boxing a decade back, is our hero. He now lives a lazy life as a family man who doesn’t have any interest in doing a job. His wife is somewhat fed up with his attitude, but his daughter, who sees him as her hero, boasts about the things her father does when he occasionally goes for bouncer gigs. At one point, the world champion boxer Sainul Akhmadov comes to Kochi, and, long story short, Abu gets into a tussle with him. We see how this incident transpires into a huge rivalry in Daveed.
