Boys

Five college friends drift into reckless behavior, worrying their parents. They befriend a middle-aged man named Mangalam who becomes a mentor figure. They also meet Harini and her friends, setting the stage for a romance that will test loyalties.

Munna and Harini begin a romantic relationship, despite the disapproval of their families. The mounting pressure drives a rift between the group and the parents. The romance becomes the catalyst for the future decisions that shape their path.

Unable to bear the parental strife, Munna and Harini elope and marry in Tirupati with support from Mangalam and the others. The wedding marks a major turning point and ignites a fresh wave of conflict between the couple and their families. The parents respond by expelling Munna, Harini, and their friends from their circles. The newlyweds vow to pursue their own path despite the high stakes.

Left to fend for themselves, the group takes odd jobs to survive. They form a band named Boys with the aim of raising money for their education. The unlikely collective sets out on a journey that blends hardship with a hunger for opportunity.

Boys start by recording modern versions of Tamil devotional songs and gain initial attention. Their growing popularity attracts fans and industry interest. The success raises real hope for a better future through music.

They are investigated and incarcerated under POTA for allegedly associating with Naxalites and creating extremist songs. Mangalam intervenes and fights to prove their innocence. The crisis solidifies Mangalam's commitment to guiding their career.

After their innocence is established, Mangalam becomes their manager and steers their career. The band lands a contract to record an album with Sony, a major breakthrough. The opportunity signals a new chapter in their life and validates their persistence.

Krishna, in a drunken confession, reveals that the group once hired a prostitute, triggering Harini's anger. Harini leaves Munna, returning to her parents amid the strain of the secret. The revelation fractures trust and intensifies the emotional stakes for everyone.

The group searches for the prostitute to clear their name, but Kumar is killed when he is run over on a bus while pursuing the lead. The tragedy compounds the group's guilt and determination as they navigate toward their Sony contract. Harini's anger evolves into unresolved pain, complicating the relationship and the band's unity. The incident becomes a turning point that tests loyalties.

Mangalam negotiates with Harini's parents to let her record the album, but they insist on Harini and Munna divorcing and never seeing each other again. Munna reluctantly agrees to protect the group's future and the new opportunity. The plan sets the stage for the recording sessions and the emotional cost of fame.

The album is recorded and released to great success, bringing the Boys into the mainstream spotlight. They perform live on MTV, dedicating the moment to Kumar's memory. The band's triumph marks a public vindication that contrasts with private heartbreak.

With the divorce looming, Mangalam devises a plan to provoke Harini's jealousy and spark a reconciliation with Munna before the divorce is finalized. Harini's possessive reaction leads to a renewed, fiery reunion with Munna. Their personal drama resolves as they choose each other again, while their musical trajectory continues to rise.
