Synopsis : Ek Yodha Shoorveer is set in the early 16th century, when Portuguese sailors dominated the Indian Ocean. The story follows Chirakkal Kelu (Prithviraj), seeking to avenge the death of his father at the hands of the sailors, and his cohorts Vavvali of Nagapattinam (Prabhu Deva), princess Ayesha of Arackel (Genelia D’Souza) and princess Bala of Chirakkal (Nithya Menon). The plot incorporates the intrigues of the Chirakkal royal house, where Kelu serves as commander-in-chief, its rivalry with the house of Arackal, and the assassination of prince Bhanu Vikraman (Ankur Khanna). . The plot also incorporates such historical figures as Estêvão da Gama (Alexx O’Nell), Vasco da Gama (Alexx O’Nell & Robin Pratt) and Chenichery Kurup (Jagathy Sreekumar).

The executives of the multinational mining corporation Nirvana Group inform Goa-based Krishna Das (Prithviraj Sukumaran) that his ancestral property in north Kerala, leased out to a non-governmental organisation (NGO) by his late grandfather, is both rich in minerals and able to be sold because the lease period has expired. Nirvana Group offers him a large sum of money as an advance on the purchase. The NGO currently runs a tribal school on the property, which is situated inside the Kannadi Forest Range. When Krishna Das and his friend Thanseer (Prabhu Deva) visit the property, they are kidnapped by local tribal men and taken to a cave deep in the forest. There, Krishna Das meets the tribal chief Thangachan (Arya), who explains to him that he is the descendant of a certain Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar.

In the early 16th century, the Portuguese sailors under Vasco da Gama (Alexx O’Nell) captured a Muslim pilgrim ship and took all the passengers as prisoners. The general of Chirakkal kingdom (northern Kerala), the Kothuwal, sends a Brahmin negotiator and his own son, Kelu, (as per the customes of the land) to the captured ship to negotiate the prisoners’ release. However, Vasco da Gama viciously rejects their attempt at negotiation, cutting off the negotiator’s ears. He then orders that the prisoners be locked in the hold and the ship set on fire. Kothuwal storms the burning ship to rescue his son, Kelu. Although Kelu escapes, Chirakkal Kothuwal is killed during the rescue attempt. Vavvali, a Tamil Muslim boy, takes orphaned Kelu with him to his home, and treats him as his brother. Kelu crafts an urumi from the leftover ornaments of the dead women and children of the pilgrim ship. He takes an oath to one day kill Vasco da Gama.

Kelu and Vavvali are next seen as adults hunting in a forest somewhere in Chirakkal. They rescue the princess of Chirakkal, Bala (Nithya Menon), from a group of abductors, armed with Portuguese pistols, who apparently have been organised by her cousin, Bhanu Vikraman (Ankur Khanna). Under the orders of Bhanu Vikraman, Kelu and Vavvali are soon captured by the Chirakkal guards at Puthoor Ferry and tried before the king of Chirakkal (Amole Gupte). In the trial, it is revealed to the king that the two young men in fact saved the princess’ life. Chenichery Kurup (Jagathy Sreekumar), minister of the king, convinces the king that the abductors might have been from Arakkal kingdom.
