At its core, the story follows Mahadev, an unemployed graduate played by Sethupathi, whose desperate search for a break leads him into a world of moral compromise. The teaser leans heavily on the symbolism of Indian currency and Mahatma Gandhi’s portrait, subtly highlighting the friction between the ideals Gandhi stood for and the reality of modern-day greed.
It’s a film that isn’t just trying to entertain; it’s asking us to look at our own values through a quiet, yet powerful, lens.
