18am Padi (Pathinettam Padi)

Two Schools - one for the rich and one for the poor. Two rival gangs. Two rebel leaders and their epic tale of romance, rivalry and friendship. Above all, a greater realisation given by a genius mentor, Professor John Abraham Palackal (Mammootty) as these youngsters step up from their adolescence to adulthood forms the premise of Pathinettam Padi (the eighteenth step).
