Pettaikaaran is famous in his town for an impeccable track record of successes in rooster fights. When one of his aides, Karuppu, goes against his word in a fight, it leads to an enmity between them.

VIBE

A raw, visceral dive into a world where honor is paramount and tradition dictates life. This film feels intensely grounded, exploring the brutal consequences of betrayal and the primal drive for revenge. It's a stark, unflinching look at masculinity and its destructive potential.
