Story
Murugan grows up around his father Sivanesan's humble idli shop in their village. Wanting more from life, he leaves home to build a successful career. But when life pulls him back to where he started, he has to decide what success really means – and whether the small family business he left behind is worth fighting for.
It is a simple, emotional story about roots, family and self-respect, with Dhanush's trademark mix of drama, humour and a few mass moments.
