Chennai City Gangsters | Tamil Heist Comedy – June 20, 2025
Releasing on June 20, 2025, Chennai City Gangsters is a 2D Tamil comedy-crime caper running 2 hours and 9 minutes and rated UA13+. Directed by Vikram Rajeshwar and Arun Keshav, this fast-paced romp follows a motley crew of eccentric ex-conmen as they hatch the most outrageous bank robbery Chennai has ever seen.
Plot Synopsis
When Pandi (Vaibhav Reddy) and his partner Poochi lose a hefty sum of money entrusted to them, desperation drives them to seek help from four equally unhinged ex-convicts: Split Soosai (Anandraj) with his split-second split decisions, Memory Das (Mottai Rajendran) whose photographic recall is as unreliable as his digestion, Damar Lal (John Vijay) the smooth-talking schemer, and Kudi Kumar (Sunil Kumar Reddy), whose only talent is drinking. Together, this ragtag quintet concocts an absurdly convoluted plan to hit the local bank, repay their debts, and—hopefully—avoid landing back behind bars.
Through slapstick training montages, bungled reconnaissance missions, and increasingly ludicrous disguises, the gang’s chemistry swings from explosive arguments to unexpected camaraderie. As the heist date looms, loyalties are tested and hidden agendas surface. Will their chaotic synergy be enough to pull off the job, or will Chennai’s finest catch wind of the madness before they even step foot inside the vault?
