Spoilers ahead
Dharmadurai, Vijay Sethupathi, is known in his village as the lovable yet ever-mumbling drunkard, a man whose relatives—his brothers and brother-in-law who run a chit-fund business—often confine and mistreat him. Only his mother, Pandiyamma, and his steadfast friend Gopalaswamy stand by him, offering moments of care amid the constant trimming away of his dignity. One night, Pandiyamma overhears plans from Dharmadurai’s brothers to end his life, and in a quiet act of courage she helps him escape, urging him to start anew far from the village. He flees for Madurai, unknowingly carrying the chit-fund money that belongs to his family, a twist that will haunt him in the days to come.
