Storyline

Unbeknownst to him, Pattamuthu becomes entangled with Linga, a local man involved in illegal money dealings, and his choices threaten to pull him away from his roots. As tensions rise, Chellaiyah’s unwavering love and moral strength guide him to protect his son from ruin and help him rediscover the true meaning of family, integrity, and redemption, creating a poignant father-son tale that blends emotion, tradition, and rural realism.
