Kali

Siddharth Dulquer Salmaan wrestles with a volatile temper that flares over even the smallest provocations, yet he remains deeply in love with Anjali Sai Pallavi. The pair chooses to marry soon after finishing their studies, defying the cautious wishes of their families. With the support of his friends, Siddharth secures a banking job in Kochi, and Anjali encourages him to channel his anger through practical anger-management steps. When Anjali’s parents invite them to her brother’s engagement, she asks her mother to persuade her father to call Siddharth, a small step toward building a calmer married life. Siddharth pours himself into work, determined to curb his temper while navigating the often-testing world of customer service.

But tensions rise when Anjali breaks up with Siddharth, telling him that she cannot imagine a life shaped by his volatility. In a bid to salvage their connection, Siddharth proposes a trip to Masinagudi in Tamil Nadu. On the highway, a trucker named Chakkara, Chemban Vinod Jose in the eyes of the couple, roars past in a reckless overtake that nearly ends in disaster. Fury drives Siddharth as he chases and overtakes him, though Anjali pleads with him to ease off. The detour leads them to a restaurant controlled by a ruthless gangster, John Vinayakan, and they soon discover that Chakkara is one of John’s henchmen. Siddharth’s temper quickly lands him in trouble, and he finds himself entangled in the criminal world’s dangerous dynamics.

A critical moment arrives when Siddharth and Anjali realize they have no cash. The restaurant staff suggest that one of them returns with money from a nearby ATM. Anjali, who is still learning to drive, ventures out, while Siddharth tries to stay calm and protect her. Chakkara slips away, and a tense pursuit unfolds, with Anjali navigating a lonely road while the network fails her and the danger closes in. A passing trucker who witnessed the chase renews hope by alerting help, and Siddharth is eventually found and locked in a room by John’s men. A young boy later opens the door, and Siddharth steps into a wider gang war surrounding the restaurant.

When police arrive, the situation shifts: John is injured, and Siddharth is arrested, yet the truth surfaces—that the restaurant’s former owner had arrived with a rival gang to settle old scores. The journey continues for the couple, and Siddharth sincerely apologizes, insisting that he can change with Anjali by his side. He makes it clear that anger management won’t happen overnight, but he is hopeful about the future because of their shared bond, and Anjali agrees to stay with him through the process.

On the road again, the pair encounter Chakkara, whose truck has broken down. Siddharth contemplates letting him go, but Anjali, furious with the harassment she endured, refuses to forgive. She brings the car to a halt, signaling that something must be done, and Siddharth steps out to vent his anger, with Anjali’s full approval, as he charges toward Chakkara. In that moment, a vow to change—strengthened by love and partnership—takes center stage, underscoring the film’s core message: personal growth is possible when someone you love stands beside you.
