The story begins in 1996 when Arul (Arvind Swamy) and his family are forced to sell their home due to a property dispute and move to a new city. In 2018, Arul returned to his hometown for his cousin’s wedding, setting the stage for the events that followed.
At first, he’s hesitant to visit, feeling that the place resembles his old home too much. He plans to just drop off a wedding gift for his cousin and leave quickly.

What makes this character even more intriguing is that his name is never revealed throughout the film—an intriguing detail that adds to the story’s depth.
