Read the complete plot breakdown of Mr. Chandramouli (2018), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.
Raghav wakes up in a hospital, severely injured and left with limited vision, after a tragic accident that claimed the life of his father, Chandramouli. The story unfolds through a series of flashbacks revealing a complex web of events involving corporate rivalry, crime, and personal loss.
It all begins with Azhagar, the talented CEO of an online taxi company, who receives an industry award, much to the pride of his loved ones. However, his success attracts a threat from Vinayak Kanagasabai, a rival CEO, who openly challenges his dominance. Driven by ambition and desperation, Azhagar instructs his assistant, Pugazhendhi, to sabotage Vinayak by hiring criminals to pose as drivers for GoCabs, leading to incidents that garner media attention and spark a police investigation.
Meanwhile, Madhu and Padmani are closely involved with Raghav, a gifted boxer seeking sponsorship for a critical fight. Initially turned down by Azhagar, Raghav’s breakthrough comes when Vinayak agrees to support him, and Raghav wins the match, gifting his victory prize—a new car—to his father. The celebration turns tragic when Chandramouli invites Raghav for a late-night drive, and their car is hit by a truck, leading to Chandramouli’s death and leaving Raghav gravely injured.
As Raghav recovers, he learns from an officer that his father had signed the death certificate of a woman named Bhairavi, who appears to have been a close friend of Chandramouli’s. Though initially confused, Raghav, Madhu, and Padmani uncover that Bhairavi was an orphan with a deep connection to Chandramouli. She was a key figure in their lives, known for helping Raghav secure sponsorship and for her role as the financial manager at Azhagar’s company.
The truth becomes murkier when it’s revealed that Bhairavi was murdered. Chandramouli confided in his friend Ramamurthy that her death was not caused by a GoCabs driver, as widely believed, but by someone known to him personally. Chandramouli was also investigating this mystery, seeking to expose the real culprit. His inquiries were met with threats from powerful individuals, warning him to stay silent.
Chandramouli’s suspicions lead him to confront the driver involved in the accident; however, the driver claims he lost control unintentionally. Later, Raghav discovers the driver dead in an isolated factory, hanging, suggesting foul play. Padmani uncovers Bairavi’s phone containing evidence of her murder, pushing Raghav to catch the next person involved—sending Madhu and her colleagues to lure the murderer in their cab.
Their trap almost succeeds, but Madhu alerts Raghav when she notices the driver stopping in a secluded area. Raghav arrives in time to confront him, and the driver confesses that Pugazhendhi instructed him to carry out the crime. Raghav then tracks down Pugazhendhi at a bar, but he manages to escape. The following days reveal that Pugazhendhi was found dead after uploading a confession video, falsely blaming Bhairavi’s killer and implicating Azhagar.
The climax approaches as Raghav uncovers that Vinayak, the rival CEO, is behind the conspiracy. In a fierce battle, Raghav fights Vinayak and ultimately kills him by setting him ablaze. However, Vinayak’s exact fate remains uncertain, and he is reported to have escaped, with the authorities in pursuit.
The story concludes with Raghav standing victorious and hopeful, smiling happily in Chandramouli’s restored car, symbolizing a bittersweet victory over personal tragedy and corporate corruption.
“Sometimes, the truth is buried deep, but it always finds a way to surface.”
This film intertwines themes of justice, corporate rivalry, and resilience, making for a gripping narrative that keeps viewers engaged till the very end.
