Mynaa

A young Suruli sees Mynaa and her widowed mother being cast out of their home due to unpaid rent. He notices Mynaa gathering her books from the jumble, a small detail that foreshadows a deeper connection. This moment marks the beginning of a protective, lifelong bond toward Mynaa.

Driven by a protective impulse, Suruli brings the mother and daughter to his village and secures a roof over their heads. He also helps Mynaa resume her schooling, providing a stable path that had eluded her. This act plants the foundation for their future relationship and responsibilities.

Eight years slip by and Suruli works as a hard-working coolie in a neighboring town. Mynaa is nearing the end of her schooling and preparing for her +2 exams. The pair’s bond has deepened in the interim, constrained by social boundaries but undeniable in feeling.

As Mynaa enters puberty, their affection grows warmer and more complicated. Mynaa’s mother views Suruli as an unsuitable match and begins to push for an arranged path to marriage that she deems appropriate. The tension between love and social expectation begins to mount.

Mynaa's mother schemes to marry her off to a Dubai-based worker. Suruli, unable to accept this, threatens the would-be groom, drawing police attention and a 15-day jail sentence for a murder-threat. The looming wedding creates a dangerous, fragile moment for everyone involved.

With Diwali approaching, the wedding date is set for the 14th day, a night before Suruli's expected release. The festival intensifies the stakes and shadows the impending court outcome. The timing adds a cruel tension to the personal drama.

In parallel, the jail’s sub-jail in-charge Bhaskar and head constable Ramaiah manage daily pressures and personal loyalties. Bhaskar is married to Sudha, daughter of a wealthy landlord, while Ramaiah remains devoted but childless. Their lives intersect with Suruli’s case as the Diwali period unfolds.

Suruli vanishes from the jail system just as Diwali preparations are underway, triggering a frantic search by Bhaskar and Ramaiah. They rush to Suruli’s village to find him before the festival ends, hoping to avert legal and personal fallout. The clock tightens as family loyalties and the law collide.

Bhaskar and Ramaiah reach Mynaa’s home to a tense scene where Mynaa’s mother accuses Suruli of coercion while Mynaa herself denies it. The confrontation pauses the wedding plans, and Bhaskar arrests Suruli to move the case toward a court decision. The personal and legal lines blur in the night.

The trio embarks on a dangerous journey through unfamiliar terrain, crossing into Kerala and facing unexpected trials. Along the way, Bhaskar’s growing sense of responsibility surfaces as Suruli’s actions buoy the chance of a safer future for Mynaa. The journey tests loyalties and resilience.

On the way back toward their hometown, Bhaskar vows to secure Suruli’s release within two days and to keep Mynaa safe as the wedding looms. Ramaiah offers shelter to Mynaa, but Sudha’s pressure intensifies from behind the scenes. The balance of power shifts as emotions run high.

Sudha leverages influence to allege an improper relationship between Bhaskar and Mynaa, turning the situation volatile. A devastating turn arrives when Mynaa is found dead on a railway line, sending shockwaves through everyone involved. The wedding plans collapse in the face of mounting guilt and fear.

Mynaa is revealed to have been murdered by Sudha’s brothers, who beat her and throw her body onto the tracks. Overwhelmed by grief, Suruli sacrifices himself by stepping in front of a moving train. The tragedy shatters the remaining hope for a shared life and ignites fury.

Enraged by the events, Bhaskar kills Sudha and her brothers with a sickle. He quits his job, returns home, and surrenders to the authorities. The act closes the circle of violence that began with a forbidden love and a broken promise.

Bhaskar is sentenced to twenty years, serving in the same kind of cell where Suruli waited earlier. The film leaves viewers with a haunting sense of consequence—love, loyalty, and violence intertwined in a single, fateful decision.
