Masters Plot Summary

What happens in Masters from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Milan Paul and Sreeramakrishnan, lifelong friends since college, carry their bond into adulthood in the city of Kottayam. Milan Paul, a renowned reporter, and Sreeramakrishnan, an ASP, juggle demanding duties while leaning on their shared history to address social responsibilities. Sree, however, is known for a short fuse and impulsive streak, often landing him in trouble, with Milan quietly stepping in to pull him back from the brink.

As a string of suicide murders shocks the community, the police are left baffled by motives that seem to connect no one to anyone else. In many cases, the killers had never even met their victims before the act, and the narrative hints that those who commit these crimes are rooted in a broader sense of injustice stirred by society.
