[2][3] Kumar, a mortuary van driver, is tasked with transporting the body of Narayana Perumal, an elderly man who died in an accident, from Chennai to Tirunelveli.

Narayana Perumal's two rival sons, Esakkimuthu "Esakki" and Sankarapandian, are vying to perform the last rites to legitimize their claims to inheritance.

Meanwhile, Kumar receives a distressing call from his grandfather, informing him that Kalaiyazhagi's delivery is complicated and requires an urgent cesarean section, which will cost Rs.

As Kumar continues his journey, the boy in the couple receives a call about his father being attacked, and they are subsequently chased by goons.

Shanmugam instructs Kumar to fetch a deformed corpse from the Madurai mortuary to replace Narayana Perumal's body but their efforts turn futile.

Esakki demands a photo of the corpse from Kumar, who deceives him by dressing Nalinamoorthy as a dead body and sending the picture.

Kumar breaks down, lamenting his misfortunes: losing his parents at a young age, the death of his two newborn babies, and his uncertainty about what to do next.

Nalinamoorthy shares his grief, revealing his struggles as an unmarried man who lost his mother and failed artist and confesses to having attempted suicide multiple times, only to be rescued.

[9] Akshay Kumar of Cinema Express rated three out of five and wrote that "A brilliant Vimal and Karunas anchor an effective road film".
