Second Show

On a rain-soaked night, Harilal, an ex-convict, begins recounting his past to a stranger at a bus stop. The tale frames Lalu, a poor driver for a local sand mafia, and the hard choices that pull him deeper into crime. This opening confession sets the tone for a life swept between crime and memory.

Lalu forms a wary alliance with Kurudi, a bold yet volatile partner who leads him into the dangerous street world. Their bond draws the attention of the cash-strapped underworld, who watch their every move. The city becomes a testing ground for quick decisions and reckless courage.

Kurudi’s reckless courage pushes them into a risky scheme that leaves sand smugglers short-handed. As risk mounts, Lalu must decide how far he will go to survive and protect those he loves. The maneuver marks a shift from routine crime to high-stakes danger.

Lalu and Kurudi cross paths with Chaver Vavachan, a shrewd financier who makes his living retrieving vehicles from borrowers who default. Vavachan’s presence exposes a more organized network behind the chaos of the streets. A personal vendetta begins to form, ready to stretch across decades.

Twenty-five years after Antony’s death, Vavachan tracks down the man who killed Antony in a hospital, attempting to finish him by removing his oxygen. A nurse intervenes, but is shoved aside as Vavachan’s revenge takes shape. The scene plants the long fuse that will propel future violence.

Geethanjali alias Geethu, the nurse whom Lalu slapped earlier, is revealed amid the hospital’s tense atmosphere. The three red lines on her cheek stand as a stark sign of the violence shaping their fates. She becomes a key figure who could redefine Lalu’s path.

Vavachan’s path of retribution ends in tragedy when Vishnu Budhan’s henchmen strike back, killing Vavachan. The danger then shifts toward Lalu and his circle, who must scramble to stay ahead of the growing threat. The underworld war tightens its grip on the group.

Fearing for his mother’s safety, Lalu moves her to his uncle Janardhan’s house, where old family ties begin to intertwine with crime. Janardhan helps reintroduce Lalu to Geethu as a confidante and potential ally. Geethu, wary of the world Lalu inhabits, is urged to keep quiet about the hospital incident to protect his mother.

Vikadan betrays Lalu, leaving him battered and isolated as Vishnu Budhan’s crew closes in. The group seeks refuge at Sethu’s tea shop, a temporary haven from the relentless pursuit. Trust frays as loyalties are tested and survival becomes the only plan.

Kurudi reappears as a taxi driver with swagger, claiming he’s faced Bhuddhan’s son and owns everything that matters, including his phone. The brothers’ bond strains under the weight of Lalu’s moral costs and the dangerous truth of Kurudi’s claims. Geethu begins to see the man beyond the mask, hinting at a possible alliance.

Lalu’s plan to marry Geethu is nudged forward by his uncle’s scheme to see them wed, turning affection into a strategic alliance for survival. Geethu’s initial resistance softens as love and duty clash with a violent life. The mounting pressure nudges Lalu toward a darker destiny as he leans into his role in Vishnu Budhan’s world.

Vishnu Budhan answers with brutal force by killing Kurudi, pushing Lalu to exact ruthless revenge. Lalu ambushes and kills Vishnu Budhan, seizing control of his operation and power in the criminal network. The act marks a pivot from surviving in the shadows to ruling a dangerous empire.

Sachi arrives to arrange a meeting with the new Commissioner of Police, signaling the intersection of crime and law. Lalu discovers that Sachi is the commissioner, a twist that seals his fate under tightening law. The authorities close in as his world begins to collapse.

Lalu is jailed, saved only by his mother’s unwavering faith. Geethu marries someone else, and Lalu’s business crashes under the weight of past choices. The film closes this chapter with a bleak present, where consequences keep echoing.

Back in the present, a suspicious car lingers outside as a shooter closes in. The man is revealed to be Vishnu Budhan’s son, who fires, wounding Lalu. Lalu lies wounded, but a slight hand movement signals that his story—Harilal’s memory and Kurudi’s shadow—will continue.
