Storyline
Set in the fictional village of Kaalakammaipaati, the story revolves around two rival sects constantly at odds over their beliefs. The tension escalates when Kathiravan (Kaali Venkat), an atheist, dies unexpectedly on a sacred night. But his body begins to release strange sounds—farting continuously—leading villagers to interpret it as a divine sign. Soon, both sects claim Kathiravan as a vessel of their gods, fueling an absurd yet darkly comic battle of faith.
Amidst the chaos, Mani Muthu (Arjun Das), Kathiravan’s loyal friend, refuses to buy into blind superstition. Believing his friend is still alive, he embarks on a desperate mission to save him.
