Sethu of the goes to and: earlier infamously called as 'Kaalapani' during the British Raj, to find the whereabouts of his paternal aunt- Parvathi's husband Govardhan Menon , who had been sent to the Cellular Jail here in Port Blair 49-50 years ago (in March 1915) during the. Sethu, upon the recommendations of the, is helped by the jovial and funny Nair , an official in the administration to enquire about his uncle. He visits the once dreaded prison, which has now become a national monument and memorial, and pays his tributes at the memorial stone dedicated to the heroes and martyrs who were incarcerated here during the struggle for achieving Indian independence. In an old room of the government office containing records of the prisoners held at the jail, Sethu comes across his uncle, Govardhan's records and learns his story.Govardhan, a humble from a family of wealthy landlords, is a doctor and an Indian nationalist. He was expelled from his job at for holding non-violent protests against the British Government.He believes in 'Ahimsa' (non-violence) and is against the forceful recruitment of Indians in the military by the British government to participate in the ongoing first World War; he encourages the people in his village to join the and boycott British goods and clothes. He is also against his feudal cheiftain-uncle's loyalty to the British government and falls in love with Parvathi against his family's wishes.
Their's was a love marriage. Parvathi is enchanted by Govardhan's personality and his determination to achieve Indian independence. But, fate acts otherwise and he is wrongly accused of bombing a train carrying 55 people, including British officials.
On their wedding day, he was arrested, leaving behind a shattered and an emotional Parvathi, and was first sent to a jail in, from where he was later deported to the Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands for a life-term of 25 years. While in the ship taking him and the other new male and female prisoners to the island penal colony, the British captain brutally shoots down certain male convicts infected with, as he believed the disease will spread throughout the ship. The dead bodies are then thrown in the Indian Ocean-Bay of Bengal route. In the Cellular Jail, hundreds of Indian prisoners from different parts of the country are incarcerated, including leading participants of the freedom movement. The extremely inhumane conditions faced by the prisoners in the jail are accurately depicted.David Barry (Alex Draper) is a young sadistic and arrogant jailor who is of descent and considers himself as 'the God of Earth' (as he decided the fate of the prisoners), while Len Hutton and his wife are kind-hearted English doctors. is incarcerated here and tries his best to keep the spirit of the prisoners, despite going through unbelievable torture meted to them by the jail authorities.
On his very first day itself at the sinister prison, Govardhan witnesses many brutalities inflicted upon him and the other prisoners by the British officials and their tainted Indian police servants. There, one of the prisoners, Ram Lakhan , a Hindu Brahmin, is cruelly flogged, beaten, and stripped of his sacred thread by the prison guards on the orders of the ugly, cruel, and villainous jail Warden - Mirza Khan (a physically powerful who was straight out from the and was adept of brutally beating the prisoners to the core and murdering them) when Ram Lakhan had refused to eat his food which had a dead lizard in it. Then, Govardhan is forced to lick and clean Mirza Khan's boots when the former tries to help a fellow prisoner who was ill. Mirza Khan and Barry regularly incite communal hatred and violence between Hindu and Muslim prisoners, thereby implementing the British policy of 'divide and rule'. Mirza Khan asks Govardhan to convert to Islam, change his name, and become his servant but the latter refuses to do so.
Veer Savarkar asks Govardhan and the other prisoners to stand in solidarity with Ram Lakhan.Govardhan befriends Mukundan Iyengar - a voracious and plump foodie and a revolutionary, who was jailed here for committing terrorist activities in against the British Rule. Mukundan constantly escapes from prison, but each of his escape-attempts end in failures. Each time he is caught and is mercilessly beaten up by Mirza Khan and the jail police. On his twelveth failed escape-attempt, the Jail Court warns him with a death sentence if he tries to run from prison in future. Mukundan believes in Tamil regionalism and Marxist principles to get rid of the British Rule. But, Govardhan always encourages him to address himself as a proud Indian instead of addressing himself as a Tamilian to promote oneness.Ram Lakhan is forced by Mirza Khan and Barry to consume human excrement for going on a hunger strike to get his thread back.
Without no alternative to escape from this torture, he commits suicide by jumping from one of the towers while being chased by the guards in the night. The next morning, his death is covered up as a case of simple suicide - that he hung himself in the cell on the previous night.
