Read the complete plot breakdown of Pichaikkaran 2 (2023), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

[Sathya] is a beggar who searches for his long-lost sister Raani, who was sold to traffickers under the guise of an orphanage. One day, Sathya is kidnapped by mercenaries, and doctors transplant his brain into the body of Vijay Gurumoorthy, a renowned business tycoon. Sathya’s brain is transplanted into Vijay’s body. He regains consciousness and is shocked to see his new persona. The transplant’s masterminds—Aravind, Illango, and Dr. Shiva—meet Sathya and force him to act as Vijay.

Sathya reluctantly accepts and begins his new life as Vijay, where he meets Vijay’s girlfriend Hema. One day, Sathya sneaks into a police station and tells a police officer about his real identity and the brain transplant, but the officer doesn’t believe him. Sathya is captured by Aravind, Illango and Shiva, taken to an island, and brutally tortured. However, Sathya grows agitated, kills and dumps Aravind, Illango and Shiva’s bodies on the island, and returns to Chennai. Driven by a political tragedy involving a girl’s death, Sathya decides to take Vijay’s place and starts a non-profit foundation named Anti Bikili, aiming to solve the poor people’s problems and eradicate poverty in the state.

The Anti Bikili Foundation becomes a public success, earning admiration and respect. One night, the police find Aravind, Illango, and Shiva’s corpses while aiding survivors of a plane crash. A police officer informs the CM about Sathya’s earlier confession, and the CM uses this to blackmail Sathya for a share of the money. Sathya refuses and reveals his real identity to [Hema]. He surrenders to the court. After a lengthy trial, the court orders Vijay’s properties to be transferred to Hema (who is pregnant with Vijay’s child), thereby saving the Anti Bikili foundation, while Sathya is sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murders. Sathya thanks Hema for timely help and finally meets Raani, along with her married husband and daughter, who is also named Sathya. He apologizes to Raani and promises to reunite with her after his release.
