Kangalal Kaidhu Sei 2004

John Vaseegaran is a young man who ranks as the 5th richest man in India and 30th in the world. In business, his major rival is Pratap, who was earlier a rival to Vasee’s parents. The plot opens in a graveyard where Vasee’s parents’ funeral takes place. However, Vasee is not disturbed by their demise as he had not been showered with any affection by them and they instead spent their attention only on developing their business and making money. A lady attending the funeral expresses her condolence to Vasee and leaves. While getting into her car, she finds that her diamond ring is missing and starts shouting. Pratap, who is also present there, hears her. Vasee quietly takes out the ring from his pocket and puts it back there.

Soon, Vasee, at the age of 21, inherits his parents’ property and becomes the chairman of 42 companies. However he is unhappy in his life and yearns for motherly affection. He is also a kleptomaniac. He consults his family doctor for a solution. The doctor instructs him to find love, which makes him dream of a loving, maternal figure named Cinderella based on the fairytale character of the same name.

Vidhya, a young woman working in a shopping mall run by Pratap, sees Vasee stealing a crystal from the shopping mall. Later, a diamond exhibition is organized, and Pratap is exhibiting his special diamond with 16 reflecting faces, which is worth ₹10 crore. This diamond is under Vidhya’s responsibility. She notices Vasee at the exhibition and becomes alert. Shortly afterwards, Vasee steals the diamond in spite of tight security and leaves. Vidhya is questioned by police and charged with theft. Under interrogation, Vidhya remembers Vasee’s presence and relates the old incident of crystal theft. She immediately understands that Vasee is the thief and tells the police, but they do not believe her as he is a wealthy man. However, Pratap believes her as he remembers the graveyard ring theft. In fact, Pratap himself once lost a golden wristlet while shaking Vasee’s hand.

As per Pratap’s plan, Vidhya enters Vasee’s home as his personal secretary. Vasee asks her to dress in modern attire, and she does so. He sees his dream girl Cinderella in Vidhya and starts developing love for her, but she is not interested in him. Meanwhile, Vidhya searches for the diamond and spots it in a big fish tank. Soon, she is asked to accompany Vasee to the airport from which he is to take a plane for attending a meeting. Vidhya suddenly disappears when she notices Vasee’s doctor. Soon, Vasee too rushes home when informed by the doctor that Vidhya and a police officer named Premkumar met him for an inquiry about Vasee. At home, he sees the broken fish tank and understands that Vidhya took the diamond. Vidhya is happy as she is relieved from the first charge but is soon charged again for theft.

It turned out that the diamond taken from Vasee by Vidhya is not the original one, but a fake made from crystal. Pratap demands Vidhya to have an illicit relation with him in return for her discharge from the case. Vidhya rushes to Vasee and pleads him to give back the diamond as it destroys her future and life. She expresses that she cannot be in love with him or marry him. Then Premkumar arrives, reveals to Vasee that he is Vidhya’s fiancé, and threatens to get him caught and jailed. However, Vidhya undergoes torture under police custody for her second charge, and Premkumar is rendered powerless in proving Vidhya’s innocence. Then Vasee bails Vidhya from police custody and demands her to be his Cinderella for five days in Switzerland as punishment for attacking him psychologically with love as a weapon. He assures no physical contact but only love. Vidhya initially refuses, but due to the pressure from Premkumar to save his position, she agrees to go with Vasee.

At the Swiss airport, Vidhya bumps into an Interpol officer who introduces himself as Kailash. Vasee takes her to his Swiss residence and introduces her to all of his friends, teachers, etc. Then, he and Vidhya pose for photographs. That night, Vidhya has a nightmare of Vasee misbehaving with her. The next day, she breaks one of the photographs out of frustration. Later that day, Vasee sees Vidhya talking to Kailash from a distance. When he enters, he sees the broken pieces of the photograph. Vasee confronts Vidhya and screams at her that it is his family photo and that she has no right to break it. The next day, Kailash finds Vasee alone at a church talking to himself. Later, he is similarly spotted alone on a hilltop. Likewise on the fourth day, he is seen talking to himself on a boat on Lake Thun.

Kailash quickly informs the officers in India and Switzerland. They immediately rush to Vasee’s home to rescue Vidhya, but they find only the dead bodies of Vasee and Vidhya dressed in groom and bride costumes. They also find Pratap’s diamond placed on Vidhya’s coffin. Vasee actually slapped Vidhya on the day when she broke the photograph. Unexpectedly, she died by dashing into a heavy stone, after which Vasee dressed her body in a bridal gown and preserved her in a coffin. As soon as the cops arrive during the fifth day, Vasee, dressed in a groom’s suit, shoots himself with his golden gun. The cops also see a note on the top of Vidhya’s coffin, in which Vasee instructs the authorities to spend his property in the name of Cinderella Trust to help the poor and needy.
