Seruppugal Jaakirathai

Storyline

Seruppugal Jaakirathai (2025) tells the story of a priceless diamond hidden inside an ordinary pair of shoes. When the shoes are mistakenly swapped, the blunder drags multiple characters—including gangsters, police officers, and innocent bystanders—into a whirlwind of chaos. What begins as a simple attempt to recover the shoes quickly spirals into a rollercoaster of mistaken identities, comic chases, and unexpected confrontations. Over six fast-paced episodes, the series explores how a small mistake can trigger big trouble, blending crime, humor, and suspense into a lighthearted Tamil entertainer.
