Kuruthi

An injured police officer, Sathyan, barges into Ibrahim's house with a prisoner, Vishnu, and seeks shelter for the night. The men inside—Ibrahim, his father Moosa, and his younger brother Rasool—contend with the uneasy presence of outsiders. The tension rises as the night seals them off from the outside world.

Sathyan informs the household of the danger and takes control by closing every window and confiscating all mobile phones and weapons. He also uncovers an old, non-functional gun once used by Moosa. The house becomes a fortress as fear and mistrust spread.

Sumathi visits and is asked to stay for the night as the danger outside persists. During a meal, Vishnu and Rasool argue about the morality of the murder, and Sathyan tries to keep the peace. The conversation reveals the deep-seated tensions simmering beneath the surface.

Kareem arrives and Ibrahim speaks with him while Laiq, a stranger from Bangalore, requests shelter as well. Laiq notices Sumathi’s fabrication about a plumbing problem and directly asks about the boy, heightening everyone's unease. Loyalties within the house become murky.

Sathyan confronts Laiq across a table as Laiq’s henchman Umar closes in. The tension erupts into violence when Laiq flips the table and stabs Sathyan in the neck, while Umar pushes Ibrahim aside. The situation spirals into chaos as trust dissolves.

Laiq breaks into the room where Vishnu and Sumathi hide, and Suma tries to defend herself with Moosa's gun, which proves to be broken. Ibrahim seizes Sathyan's pistol and drives Laiq, Kareem, and Umar out of the house, sustaining the group’s precarious hold on the night.

In his final moments, Sathyan urges Ibrahim to promise to keep Vishnu safe until the cops arrive the next morning. Ibrahim uncuffs Vishnu as Laiq assaults the house’s defenses by breaking windows with an axe. Umar cuts the power, while Suma lights a match, and the trio and Rasool become exposed to the escalating threat.

Umar climbs onto the roof attempting to breach the interior, but Ibrahim uses a makeshift explosive to knock him down on the far side of the roof. The assault shifts to the rooftop, raising the stakes for everyone below.

Laiq and Ibrahim collide on the roof in a fierce struggle. Ibrahim manages to push Laiq off the edge, but Laiq injures Ibrahim’s hand with a knife in the process. The fight leaves both sides battered and more determined.

Preman returns and grows suspicious of Kareem and Laiq. He climbs a tree to spy and disrupts their plans by knocking down a wasp nest, forcing the intruders to scatter. The local danger widens the circle of conflict.

Ibrahim discovers Preman’s leg bloodied by a snakebite, complicating any plan to reach help. Vishnu offers Laiq’s bike key to aid their escape, and Kareem arrives to assault Preman. Suma shoots Kareem fatally and departs with Preman and Vishnu, leaving Laiq to pursue them.

Moosa arrives and Laiq guides Rasool in a pursuit toward the trio through the forest. In the ensuing chaos, Kareem and Umar are killed in a jeep crash; Ibrahim defeats Laiq and frees Vishnu, offering him up as a ransom to rescue Suma. Rasool receives Laiq’s knife as he dies, and the film ends with Vishnu reaching a bridge and Rasool preparing to confront him, leaving the cycle of hatred unresolved as tensions continue beyond the screen.
