Ramachandra Boss & Co (2023) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Ramachandra believes the painting Salma the angel belongs to his family. He claims that Amar Madhav killed his father Ram Madhav (a famous painter in Persia) and stole the painting. Ramachandra witnessed this murder as a toddler and has spent his life planning to retrieve what was taken from his family. The painting represents both a valuable artifact and the key to avenging his father's death.

Foreshadowing: Early in the film, Ramachandra tells the team that the painting was stolen by Amar after killing his father.

Amar is Ram Madhav's illegitimate son. When Amar discovered that his mother Salma had been abandoned by Ram Madhav shortly after Amar's birth, he confronted Ram Madhav. During this confrontation, Amar killed him. After the murder, Amar took the painting of Salma as his last remembrance of her, since he had no other connection to his mother.

Foreshadowing: The timeline reveals that Ram Madhav raised Amar despite his illegitimacy, but the truth about Salma's abandonment triggered Amar's violence.

The crew gained entry by posing as workers hired at Amar Palace. Once inside, they hijacked the security system, giving Ramachandra remote access to monitor all activities in the palace. This control over surveillance allowed them to plan their heist and coordinate movements without being detected.

Foreshadowing: The invitation to Dubai was specifically to target Amar's palace where the painting was kept.

Shailesh was apprehended by Amar and his henchmen while inside the palace. Through Shailesh, Ramachandra's whereabouts were revealed. However, when the team reached Ramachandra's location, they discovered he had already escaped through a tunnel beneath their tent.

During the biennale exhibition, Sailesh and Siddique seized the painting and passed it through a duct system to Mathan, who delivered it to the Russians. However, it was revealed that Alex, one of Amar's henchmen, had secretly helped Ramachandra sabotage the plan. Alex replaced the real painting with a fake one in the duct and hid the original painting beneath Ramachandra's car.

Foreshadowing: The truck chase revealed Amar had already replaced the original painting before it was seized.

Alex's loyalty was not to Amar but to himself. By helping Ramachandra replace the painting, Alex positioned himself to benefit from the chaos. His betrayal allowed the real painting to be hidden beneath Ramachandra's car while the fake painting was passed through the duct system to the buyers.

Foreshadowing: Alex appeared as one of Amar's trusted henchmen throughout the operation.

Mathan collected money from the Russians in exchange for the painting. However, when the Russians demanded their money back after discovering the painting was a duplicate, Mathan swapped the real money with counterfeit notes. This double-cross allowed Mathan and the gang to keep the actual payment while giving the Russians fake money.

Foreshadowing: The Russians were expecting authentic artwork and paid a significant amount upfront.

Salma is Ramachandra's mother. She was the woman depicted in the painting Salma the angel, originally painted by her husband Ram Madhav. Salma abandoned Amar shortly after his birth and was later abandoned by Ram Madhav. She remained alive throughout the entire story and was revealed to be the mastermind behind the entire operation.

Foreshadowing: The film hints that Ramachandra's personal motivation runs deeper than just profit.

Salma wanted to reclaim her painting, which had been taken by Amar after he killed Ram Madhav. Since she could not retrieve it herself, she used her son Ramachandra (whom she had presumably left as a child) as a conman to orchestrate the heist. She fabricated the story about Amar killing Ram Madhav to motivate Ramachandra and his team to retrieve the painting for her.

Foreshadowing: The final reveal shows Salma was aware of all events and used the crew's greed to accomplish her goal.

During the final confrontation at the biennale, Amar chases Ramachandra and engages in a brutal fight. Ramachandra kills Amar during this confrontation. Amar's death marks the end of the old rivalry and allows Ramachandra's gang to escape with both the painting and the money from the Russians.

Foreshadowing: Amar's greed to sell the painting at the biennale led him directly into the confrontation.
