Spoilers ahead

Thirumoorthy, Rajan P Dev, a corrupt politician who aspires to become the Prime Minister of India, hatches a dangerous plan: he hires a terrorist to take out the current PM.

Neelakandan, Delhi Ganesh, an orthodox Brahmin and Sekhar’s father’s closest ally, pushes for a traditional match between his daughter Meena, Meena, and Sekhar’s father. Yet the heart of the story beats to a different rhythm, as Sekhar himself finds himself torn between duty and his love for Yamuna, a connection that underpins the personal stakes in a nation-struggling political maze.
