Ka/Pae. Ranasingam

The film begins with Ariyanachi getting ready for her daughter’s ear piercing function. It is shown that her husband Ranasingam lives in Dubai to support their family. As the function is happening, Maayi, Ranasingam’s younger sister, learns that her brother died during a protest in Dubai through the police. As everyone is in shock and heartbroken, they try to bring Ranasingam’s body back to India.

In a flashback, Ranasingam is revealed to be a water dowser. Ariyanachi’s father Thirukannan hired Ranasingam for divining water on their land. Ariyanachi does not believe him and thinks he is a hoaxer who is tricking her family, whilst also trying to court her. One day when Ranasingam was passing by, Ariyanachi blocked him and asked him to show him where the water is as she believes that he is just making a magic show. He then identifies the water in the sky, saying that it will rain on her side but will not rain on his side. In disbelief, Ariyanachi stood and waited, but it happened, which started their love.

The film is taken back to the present, where their family is still trying to recover Ranasingam’s body. Ariyanachi gets a call from Ranasingam’s friends abroad, saying that he did not die during a protest but during an accident, while he was working in the oil factory. In shock, Ariyanachi decided to go to the police, where they do not believe her and ask her for evidence. Trying her best, she files a case in court, where they decided to tarnish Ranasingam’s name and did not come with a decision.

Taken back to the past, it is shown that Ariyanachi and Ranasingam get engaged, but on the day of their wedding, the police decide to enforce a curfew to stop the wedding. They still managed to get married overnight but failed to get any evidence because it was sudden. Ariyanachi tells Ranasingam that she wants to build a house for the whole family to stay. Ranasingam is involved with people’s problems and helps them solve them, but this is disliked by the police. As Ariyanachi struggles to bring her husband’s body back, she decides to do everything she can. While everyone is at the airport to drop Ranasingam as he is going to Dubai for work, it is shown that Ariyanachi is pregnant. During their calls, he shows Ariyanachi that he got a tattoo of her name on his hand so when he shakes people’s hands, the first thing they notice is her.

Ariyanachi decides to talk to the local MLA (Namo Narayana), Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, and others, but nothing worked. 10 months passed, and then she decided to take matters into her own hands when she stood on top of a new dam, attempting suicide. This catches the attention of the Prime Minister of India (C. V. Kumar). Attempts are made to bring Ranasingam’s body. Ariyanachi’s family picks up the body from the airport, and the funeral arrangements are made. As they go to cremate the body, Ariyanachi finds out that the body is not Ranasingam’s as it does not have the tattoo of her name, but she stays quiet. As Ariyanachi is talking to Ranasingam’s photo, she asks for forgiveness as she could not bring his body back home.

At the end, Ranasingam’s body is shown floating in the middle of the ocean as he did pass away due to an accident and his corpse was abandoned or thrown into the ocean.
