Kannum Kannum Kollaiyadithaal (2020) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Meera and Shreya were con artists all along. They used their relationships with Siddharth and Kallis as covers while running their own scams elsewhere. When Chakravarthi closed in on the men's operation, the women fled with new identities, Madhu and Varsha, to continue their schemes without being caught in the crossfire. Their love was a pretense to exploit the men's trust and access.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes show the women enjoying the luxurious lifestyle without any visible means of support, hinting at their independent criminal enterprises.

The manipulated laptop that Siddharth and Kallis scammed ended up in Deputy Commissioner Chakravarthi's possession. When it exploded during use, Chakravarthi personally traced the purchase back through the online transaction chain. This led him directly to the scammers' fake identities and eventually to Siddharth and Kallis, kicking off the police chase.

Siddharth felt genuine guilt when Meera's bag was stolen, leaving her frustrated and out of pocket. This moment made him realize the emotional toll their criminal lifestyle had on people around them, including their partners. Rather than continue running scams that put innocent people at risk, he convinced Kallis they should abandon their fraudulent ways and start legitimate businesses in Goa.

Foreshadowing: Siddharth's guilt signals his underlying conscience, which resurfaces when the women's true identities are revealed later.

The team executed the heist through careful planning: Madhu befriended Mehta at his yoga class while Varsha gained his wife's trust. On heist day, Siddharth and Kallis broke into the house and used an app Siddharth built to hack and steal Mehta's car. They then used a 3D-printed thumbprint, presumably obtained earlier, to open the cash locker containing ₹8 crore. Meanwhile, Madhu faked illness at the guest house to slip away from Mehta.

Chakravarthi revealed he was a past victim of Madhu's deception. Her guile and manipulation had personally affected him before, which is why he became obsessed with tracking her down beyond just the laptop scam case. This personal vendetta drove his determination to pursue her across cities, even when the CBI questioned why he was chasing minor con artists.

The film ends with the group camping on the road to Thailand after successfully pulling off the heist. However, the lingering shot and narrative hint that trust among Siddharth, Kallis, Madhu, and Varsha remains fragile and unsettled. Despite their romantic partnerships and shared criminal enterprise, the revelation of past deceptions leaves their future uncertain, together but not fully trusting.

Madhu and Varsha agreed to the ₹8 crore heist proposal primarily because Siddharth gave them an ultimatum: if they loved him and Kallis enough to stay, they would work together and split the loot; if not, they would simply part ways with their respective shares. Faced with losing their partners or the money, they chose to continue the alliance, revealing their new names and committing to the dangerous plan.

After stealing ₹8 crore from Sooraj Mehta, a powerful drug lord, the group knew Mehta would be furious and likely had connections at airports and international checkpoints. To avoid surveillance and capture, they planned to travel by road to Thailand, mapping a route that bypassed major checkpoints. This lower-profile escape route was their safest option to disappear abroad with the money.

The two men ran an online shopping scam by using fake identities to purchase genuine laptops. They would then open the devices, swap the authentic internal components with counterfeit parts, return the laptops for refunds, and resell the real parts for profit. This scheme let them live a glamorous lifestyle while staying technically removed from the physical crime.

Siddharth suggested targeting Sooraj Mehta, a wealthy businessman, because they needed a large sum of money to start fresh and escape their criminal past. The ₹8 crore would fund their new lives abroad while also giving them leverage against Mehta, who Siddharth discovered was a drug lord. Despite the danger, Siddharth believed it was their best chance at a clean break.
