PLOT

The story opens in 1945, during British India rule. A British gentleman and his porter try to catch a ferry at Madras Port. On the way, however, the porter drops one of the suitcases and opens it, revealing many priceless diamonds. The porter steals the diamonds by wrapping them in his veshti and smartly hides them from sight. He puts stones inside the suitcase and sends the gentleman on his way. He cuts the diamonds carefully and hides the diamonds in a trunk, which he buries near a temple in the Gulaebaghavali village.

The story then shifts to 2018, where Maasha fools Mayilvaganam and makes him think her son is dead. Then, she steals his black BMW car and sells the car for money. Meanwhile, Badri and his boss, Nambi, perform petty thefts for a living. While at a pub, Badri spots Viji and falls for her. Soon, due to a misunderstanding, Badri unknowingly accepts to steal a priceless statue from the temple at Gulaebagavali and runs into Viji. The duo escapes from the villagers’ hands and falls into the hands of a businessman named Sampath and his brother-in-law, who is also Munish’s boss. Nambi and Munish’s boss forcefully sends Badri and Viji to Gulaebaghavali to steal the trunk (a photo reveals that the businessman is the porter’s grandson). With some help from Munish and Maasha, they steal the chest.

Munish opens it, and a skeleton is inside. After a lot of confusion, they deliver the trunk. Everyone soon discovers that the skeleton has the diamonds stored inside. After a long argument, the police come to the spot and find that the diamonds had immense value. After they escape from the police, Viji’s cousins discover a hand of the skeleton fell into Maasha’s car. A flashback shows that when everyone was grabbing the skeleton, the skeleton broke apart, and a skeleton hand fell into Maasha’s car during the fight. On finding this out and how Maasha tried to deceive the other three, the trio chases her. A parallel storyline involves Mayilvaganam and a don named Annachi, ultimately culminating in the climax.
