Ramesh reads the telegram and realizes the old couple are wealthy but cannot read English. He misreads the timing to say Bujji arrives the next day instead of in six months, creating an opportunity to pose as the grandson and profit from their trust and wealth.

The telegram about Bujji's arrival sets the deception in motion.

The old couple are blind but possess a remarkable ability to remember voices and physical touch. They register Ramesh's body and Sivaji's voice as Bujji, which makes the impersonation convincing enough for them to accept the deception.

The couple's ability to remember voices and touch is introduced early when they rely on the paan seller to read letters.

Radhika discovers Bujji died in an accident in the United States and came to Mumbai to inform his grandparents. However, seeing how happy the old couple are believing their grandson is alive, she chooses not to shatter their illusion and decides to stay as his fake girlfriend.

Radhika's arrival initially seems to threaten the con, but her true motive is revealed later.

Ramesh steals the idol out of greed when the group runs out of money from their failed bank robbery. Desperate for quick cash, he takes the idol to sell it, even though this puts their entire deception at risk.

Greed has been Ramesh's driving motive throughout the film.

Raju forgives them because he values the love and family connection they have brought into his life. Despite knowing the truth about the impersonation, he chooses compassion over anger. He requests they continue the ruse so his wife can remain happy, preferring the warmth of a makeshift family over the pain of reality.

The old couple's loneliness and desire for family connection was established from the beginning.

During the bank robbery, Cheecha betrays the group by tipping off the police. Before police can arrest him, Koteswara Rao (the mastermind) escapes and hides all the money in a locker at a different bank. The exact location remains unknown to everyone else, leaving Sivaji and Ramesh without their promised share.

Cheecha's betrayal and Koteswara Rao's hasty retreat set up the money's disappearance.

Sivaji confesses because guilt overwhelms him. He reveals the idol theft to Raju and pleads to continue the deception, explaining that the truth would distress the elderly woman who has grown attached to the fake Bujji and his girlfriend.

Sivaji's moral conflict appears when he first partners with Ramesh.

Sivaji has no options left after arriving in Mumbai and losing his luggage. He desperately needs money for his mother's medical treatment, and with no job prospects, joining Ramesh seems like the only way to quickly obtain the funds he requires.

Sivaji's desperation for money to treat his mother is established at the start.

Cheecha informs the police that Koteswara Rao masterminded the bank robbery plan. This betrayal appears to be motivated by self-preservation or potential profit, as pointing the blame at Koteswara Rao may have earned Cheecha a deal or payment from authorities.

Cheecha's disloyalty is hinted at when the group plans the robbery.

The elderly couple are blind and deeply lonely after losing their son and daughter-in-law. Their desperate need for family overcomes their suspicions. They embrace the illusion of having their grandson alive because the emotional comfort outweighs the pain of admitting the truth.

Their reliance on others to read letters establishes their vulnerability and loneliness.
