Spoilers ahead
In the quiet cornfields of a South Indian village, a British forest ranger in charge of the fields hears eerie noises echoing from deep within the stalks. When he searches with his loyal dog, the animal is dragged into the crops and brutally slain by a mysterious beast named Ambuli, and the ranger himself follows soon after. The scene shifts to the 1970s, at Arthur Wellington College, where a lively farewell party marks the end of an era. Two college friends, Amudhan and Vendhan, decide to stay behind in the college hostel for the vacation, while Amudhan’s girlfriend Poongavanam remains in the nearby village of Poomanandhipuram, which sits eerily quiet during these months.
