PLOT

With the help of ACP Ramachandran, a notorious mobster named Radha and his guys plot a robbery at “Your Bank,” one of the largest privately held banks in Chennai. On May 21, they want to rob ₹500 crores, which happens to be the Governor’s birthday celebration at his home. When Radha and his men go to take over the bank on the day of the robbery, they find that it has already been taken over by an enigmatic figure going by the moniker Michael Jackson and his accomplice, Kanmani. Once inside the bank, the commandos are routed. Later, Jackson offers Radha a part of the money in exchange for helping him rob ₹5000 crores, a deal that Radha and his men grudgingly accept. They attempt to kill Jackson after Radha discovers that the bank locker only holds ₹1,510 crores, but they are defeated.

Ramachandran becomes enraged when Jackson insists that Antony, also known as Anto, a police constable, serve as the negotiator. He impersonates Michael Jackson with a voice changer, leading the public and media to believe he is the real deal. When Ramachandran tries to kill Jackson with a sniper, Jackson uses a device to cause an explosion in a car that is parked close to the bank. After information about the incidents was leaked to the public, Dayalan, the city commissioner, was called in to address the problem. Jackson discovers explosives inside the bank when checking it out. The explosives are posed as fire extinguishers, and Jackson surmises that a third crew has also entered the bank without his knowledge. When the cops find the van that Kanmani is using to lead Jackson, Kanmani destroys the vehicle and makes off.

Kanmani informs Dark Devil that the bank has ₹25,000 crores in cash on hand. Dayalan is instructed by Dark Devil to set up a meeting between him and Krish, the chairman of Your Bank. As Dark Devil surmised, the third team—who turned out to be a few employees of the bank—attacked Radha and his group inside the locker before attacking and kidnapping Dark Devil. When Krish shows up, he admits that he recruited the third team and gives them the order to blow up the bank’s chest with explosives while holding hostages inside.

Following their successful theft in Bangkok, Jijo and Achara, members of Dark Devil, intended to tie the knot. They all went to Araku Valley to plan their marriage and celebrate, but Krish and Shyam’s assailants assaulted them since they thought they would tell anybody about their theft scheme.

While Dark Devil and Kanmani were able to flee, Jijo and Achara were slain, and the murderers staged their deaths in order to keep their genuine money. When the two arrived at the home of an elderly couple, they took care of their wounds and told them about his son Kavin, an honest bank employee who want to give the money back to the mutual fund investors. But Krish assassinated Kavin, making it appear as though a mob killed him during a strike. After learning of this, Dark Devil and Kanmani made the decision to prosecute Krish and the bank employees. Following the disclosure, Dark Devil vanquishes Krish and his group. where he coerces him to go live in order to expose his financial scheme involving the ₹25,000 crore invested in mutual funds and the crimes bank employees committed against people. Before being killed by Kanmani’s phone call, Shyam—who had been forced to wear an explosives vest—reveals all about the heist and Krish’s role in it to Dayalan.

Sunil acknowledges having invested in ten of Krish’s businesses and says the ₹25,000 crore is in the bank’s hidden safe. Krish fabricates a story about Dark Devil and his group being terrorists and ends the live broadcast with the assistance of a media mole.
