The plan to strike the charity hospital safe

The seven hatch a plan to seize money stored in a safe at a charity hospital watched by Pius and his brothers. They map the heist around three keys held by Pius Mathew, Christo Mathew, and Franco Mathew, and decide to duplicate the keys by imprinting them on soap. The plan relies on catching people off guard on a festival night.

Spy cameras and Annamma joins the plan

Upon release, the group enlists Annamma, Noblettan's daughter and a nurse at the hospital, to install spy cameras and monitor security. Narayankutty helps bring the surveillance plan to life. The team's preparations become a blend of technical cunning and old-world streetwise improvisation.

The soap-key duplication tactic

The blueprint of the heist centers on imprinting three keys onto soap pieces so the team can open the safe without direct keys. They locate where each key is kept: Christo's in a glass cabinet, Pius's on a chain, and Franco's in his car. The strategy is designed to exploit human distractions during a bustling festival.

Night of the heist – Leaf's diversion and power cut

On the festival night, Leaf Vasu plants fireworks in the hospital's sewage tank to create access from the rear. Annamma cuts the main power, plunging the building into darkness so the crew can reach the safe via the exhaust fan. They unlock the safe but trigger an alarm, prompting a frantic chase through the hospital corridors.

The confession reframes the events

Martin recounts the tale to the priest, explaining how the crew wound up searching for Krishnanunni and encountering a look-alike with the same name. The memory isolates the key players and exposes how fraud, not just theft, drives their fates. The tale shifts from a simple crime to a meditation on deception.

Krishnanunni's true nature revealed

Krishnanunni is revealed not as an ally but as a con man who has reinvented himself in Trivandrum. He hawks solar panels to politicians and businessmen, setting up a larger, more sophisticated scam. This revelation reframes the earlier caper as part of a recurring game of deceit.

The cycle continues

The solar boxes symbolize a cycle of deception that can be started again by those who know how to bend systems. The gang's earlier success seeds a broader con that may outpace the original plan. Trust remains scarce, and the film closes on an unsettled, inevitable note.
