Plot

Strength Former Tamil film stuntmaster Paandi is currently retired and lives with his son Raghavan and family. Dhruv and Shaksha, Paandi’s grandchildren, are very close to him.

Raghavan faces difficulties as a result of his inability to stay still at home and his involvement in other matters outside of it. In an attempt to keep him busy, he also takes on part-time jobs as a sidekick, gym teacher, and movie stuntman, but nothing really fulfills him. Paandi and Raghavan become irate about this.

Paandi leaves his home with his ancient Royal Enfield Bullet and retirement money in search of independence. Along the way, he tells them about his first romantic experience after noticing other elderly folks riding bikes similarly to him.

He talks about how he first met Poonthendral when he was young, how they fell in love, and how their separation occurred. He informs them that he is traveling to locate Poonthendral once more. Among them is an elderly guy who assists Paandi in finding Poonthendral.

Poonthendral, who is currently residing in Hyderabad, receives a message from Paandi saying that he was in her place and was excited to see her again.

At last, Poonthendral consents to meet him at a restaurant, where they reunite and reminisce about the times past. On social media, they share pictures from their get-togethers and show their joy in each other’s lives.

Poonthendral accepts Paandi’s proposal to spend the rest of their life together. Though first hesitant about his choice, Poonthendral eventually comes to like his company and invites him to have lunch with her and her family the following day (her daughter and granddaughter).

After realizing his error, Raghavan returns to Chennai and begins looking for his father everywhere. Using social media, Dhruv finds Paandi and eventually makes his way to Poonthendral’s Hyderabad home to bring Paandi back with them. Paandi meets Raghavan’s family again when he drops by Poonthendral’s place for lunch.

Realizing that their lives must proceed in this manner, Poonthendral and Paandi make the decision to stay in contact for the remainder of their days. Paandi leaves Poonthendral’s residence with Raghavan while bursting into tears and flailing his hands in the air without looking at her.
