Sure! Here’s a detailed rephrased summary of the movie in markdown format, following all your requirements:
**In this entertaining and chaotic story, we follow the misadventures of two lifelong friends and petty thieves, Mathew Varghese as Dharman and a close accomplice, Poochi. Both are raised by Pasupathy, a former drug peddler turned businessman who now runs a pizza restaurant, and who unwittingly becomes entangled in their schemes. The plot kicks off with the eccentric Psycho Salim, a retired goon, who devises a plan to stage a fake robbery at his own house to claim a hefty insurance payout of ₹2 crore. To make this happen, he enlists Pasupathy’s help, promising to return his stolen cash and jewels once the insurance claim is processed. Pasupathy then assigns Dharman and Poochi the task of executing this staged heist within Psycho Salim’s house.
However, their plan hits a snag when they accidentally go to the wrong door—mistakenly knocking at Door No. 56 instead of 65—where they brutally confront and beat up the occupant, Inspector Aabathu. After a stern reprimand from Pasupathy, the duo proceeds to Psycho Salim’s real residence to carry out the robbery, which they accomplish with reckless abandon. Celebrating their success afterwards, they transfer the stolen money into a backpack, and Dharman even buys an identical bag to leave with a rag picker, mistakingly giving him what he believes is the original loot. Unbeknownst to them, the rag picker confuses the bag and departs with it, leaving Dharman and Poochi with a sack full of trash instead of cash and jewels.
The story also reveals Dharman’s unrequited love for Jennifer, known as Jenny, who is Pasupathy’s daughter and a childhood friend. Meanwhile, the police investigation into the theft at Psycho Salim’s house is led by Inspector Aabathu, who also happened to be beaten up by Dharman and Poochi earlier. A local bar fight incident saved by Dharman and Poochi prompts Nettai, a character they helped previously, to seek their aid in reclaiming the lost money. To solve the problem, they reach out to four eccentric ex-gangsters: Rajendran as Memory Das, who suffers from memory loss; John Vijay as Damar Lal, a deaf gangster; Sunil as Kudi Kumar, a drunken troublemaker; and Kalki Raja as Split Soosai, a gangster with split personality who believes he’s also a policeman. These four characters, despite their flaws and disabilities, agree to assist Dharman and Poochi.
Initially, the gangsters hatch a plan to loot a jewelry shop, but their disabilities—especially Damar Lal’s deafness and Memory Das’s forgetfulness—complicate the operation, leading to frustration and abandonment of that idea. Later, Dharman and the gang plan to rob the World Oriental Wealth (WOW) Bank, motivated by their desire for revenge against Dharman, who previously betrayed them during a failed bank robbery attempt when he gave them the bank’s floor plan and then turned them in. During their prison stay, the older gangsters have developed various disabilities due to fear and the torture they endured, which adds to the chaos of their new plan.
To execute the bank robbery, they establish a fake pizza shop near the bank as a cover and use Jenny as a front for their operations. From this disguise, they begin digging a 1.5 km long tunnel, which is already halfway completed, directly leading to the bank’s vault. Their ultimate goal is to access the bank’s locker and retrieve valuable items, including the private videos of Minister Sengundran, which have been leaked and are being used to threaten him. Sengundran, desperate to delete the videos and avoid scandal, seeks help from Inspector Aabathu. Unfortunately, the inspector is killed by a dog before he can act, leaving the situation unresolved. Aabathu learns that the incriminating videos are stored on a pen drive hidden inside the bank’s locker, prompting him to set up a controlled heist to seize the device.
Meanwhile, Pasupathy becomes aware that Dharman’s enemies, including Psycho Salim, have lost their ₹2 crore, and fearing their wrath, joins Dharman and Poochi in digging the tunnel toward the bank. As they make significant progress, they finally reach beneath the bank. However, complications arise when Split Soosai suggests kidnapping Dharman’s daughter, Priya, who is planning to elope. Dharman’s daughter, Priya, is kidnapped during her escape plan, but Dharman eventually decides to reunite her with her lover, leading Jenny to confess her feelings for Dharman after witnessing his kindness.
The gang’s plan intensifies when Memory Das accidentally kidnaps Priya again, demanding a ransom of ₹1 crore from Dharman’s family. When the rag picker opens the bag, he finds it filled with money and jewels. He places these valuables into his locker at WOW Bank, unaware of the entire maze of chaos happening around him. In the meantime, Dharman and his team sneak into the bank’s locker area, with police officers—including Aabathu’s fake theft team—also aiming to retrieve the pen drive and loot the bank. Using the old gangsters’ unique skills, they manage to open the vault and recover Dharman’s original bag containing ₹2 crore, which the rag picker had earlier stored there. They loot more valuables from the locker, including the private videos of Sengundran, which Dharman inadvertently takes along in the chaos.
Just as the police and Dharman’s team are about to escape through the tunnel, Split Soosai’s split personality causes him to behave as a police officer, complicating the escape. Amidst the chaos, Dharman loses the pen drive containing Sengundran’s private videos, which then falls into the hands of a group of transgender people on the street. They inadvertently play the video in front of a large public gathering, causing it to go viral and escalate the scandal. Psycho Salim reappears in the story, capturing Pasupathy and his family, blaming them for losing his ₹2 crore. Dharman and Poochi arrive just in time to rescue Pasupathy’s family and retrieve the stolen money.
In the final moments, Inspector Aabathu and his team arrive, but the damage is already done—Sengundran’s private videos have become public. Jenny, witnessing all the chaos and Dharman’s noble acts, finally confesses her love for him. A furious shootout ensues, leading to a massive fight involving Dharman’s team, the police, and the remnants of their enemies. In an ironic twist, a news report states that the Indian currency has undergone a sudden devaluation, rendering all their looted money worthless. This revelation shifts the focus away from wealth to the chaos and comedy of their failed plans. The story concludes with Dharman and his friends attempting to recover jewels given by Dharman to Priya, kept near a highway stone. Just as they approach, the same rag picker reappears, grabs the bag of jewels, and the scene closes on their ongoing, unpredictable adventures.
