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

DCP Chakravarthi is not simply chasing two small-time scammers. During the CBI interrogation in Chennai, he admits that he once fell victim to Madhu's deception in the past. This personal history explains why he went to extraordinary lengths to track her down, pursuing the case with obsessive intensity beyond what the crime warranted.

Foreshadowing: The film hints at Chakravarthi's personal stake early when he refuses to let go of the case despite it being relatively minor.

The heist combined multiple technical methods. Siddharth hacked into Mehta's car using an app he built, allowing them to steal the vehicle remotely. They then drove into Mehta's compound, used a 3D-printed thumbprint to unlock a secure locker, and extracted the ₹80 million in cash. Meanwhile, Madhu faked illness to leave Mehta's guest house without arousing suspicion.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes establish Siddharth's IT expertise and his ability to create hacking apps.

When Chakravarthi arrives in Goa and reveals he is specifically hunting the two women who fled before he arrived, Siddharth and Kallis realize their girlfriends are not who they claimed to be. The women had forged entirely new identities (Meera became Madhu, Shreya became Varsha) and were running their own separate scam operation targeting the men themselves.

Foreshadowing: The women's backstories are vague early on, and they show unusual comfort with the men's criminal lifestyle.

Rather than ending the relationship, the men propose a high-stakes collaboration: steal ₹80 million from businessman Sooraj Mehta. The deal is simple, if the women genuinely fall in love and stay, they share the loot equally; if not, they split the money and go separate ways. This arrangement allows both couples to continue together while also attempting a major score.

Foreshadowing: The Goa confrontation shifts the dynamic from trust to a transactional relationship.

After successfully stealing the money from Mehta, the group needed to leave India quickly. However, flying would require passing through airport security, where their identities and the stolen cash could be flagged. By driving to Thailand by road, they could avoid airport scrutiny and maintain mobility while escaping Chakravarthi's pursuit.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes Chakravarthi's continued police pursuit as a persistent threat.

When questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation in Chennai about why he pursued two minor fraudsters so aggressively, Chakravarthi remains largely silent. However, he privately recalls being duped by Madhu in the past, which reveals his personal vendetta against her specifically, driving his obsessive hunt throughout the film.

Foreshadowing: Chakravarthi's unusual determination seems disproportionate to the crime from the beginning.

After discovering that DCP Chakravarthi had traced the counterfeit laptop directly to them and was closing in, the pair decided to shift their criminal operation. They hoped that moving from online electronics fraud to physical car theft would change their detection pattern and slow the police investigation.

Foreshadowing: The laptop explosion that injures Chakravarthi directly links the scammers to the police.

Yes. During the planning phase, Siddharth discovers that Mehta is rumored to be a powerful drug lord with dangerous connections. This knowledge adds significant risk to the heist. Siddharth convinces the others to proceed by proposing they flee the country immediately after the robbery to escape Mehta's potential retaliation.

Foreshadowing: The film establishes Mehta as a wealthy and connected businessman from the start.

When a thief steals Meera's bag containing her money, she confesses the loss to Siddharth. Feeling guilty about their criminal lifestyle affecting the women they care about, Siddharth and Kallis decide to abandon their scams. They relocate to Goa with their girlfriends, planning to open a legitimate restaurant and beauty parlor.

Foreshadowing: The bag theft is a relatively minor event that becomes the catalyst for genuine change.

The ending suggests significant ambiguity. While camping en route to Thailand, the film shows glimpses of the four characters that hint their relationships may still involve deception. The earlier test (stay together if genuine love exists, or split the loot if not) remains unresolved, and the final scenes imply unresolved trust issues between the two pairs.

Foreshadowing: The entire narrative is built on mutual deception, making trust a central theme.

Siddharth and Kallis used a systematic fraud: they purchased genuine laptops using false identities, swapped the internal hardware with counterfeit parts, returned the tampered machines for full refunds, and then sold the authentic components for profit. This scheme funded their flashy lifestyle until one defective laptop ended up with DCP Chakravarthi and exploded, drawing police attention.

Foreshadowing: The opening scenes establish the men's expertise in technology-based fraud.
