Vellai Pookal

A young girl and her mother are held captive by an abusive, drug-addicted father in a secluded farmhouse. The mother is paralyzed, leaving them with little chance of escape. The film frames two parallel storylines that will eventually intersect in a deadly conspiracy.

Rudhran Ganesan, a retired Deputy Inspector General with a talent for stepping into a criminal's mind, visits his estranged son Ajay in Seattle. The visit is meant to repair a strained relationship after Ajay's marriage to his lover, which Rudhran disapproved of. The scene establishes his investigative instincts that will drive the mystery.

Rudhran notices strange behavior from new neighbours and soon a boy named Carlos goes missing. He begins quietly investigating, trusting his instincts rather than local stereotypes about suspects. His investigative stance gradually pulls him deeper into the case.

Bharathi, a local friend, joins Rudhran and helps connect the missing persons with deeper secrets. Through her, Rudhran learns about Ramya, her daughter, and Ramya's troubled past that broadens the emotional stakes. The partners realize the disappearances are part of a larger pattern.

Ajay disappears on the heels of the investigation, forcing Rudhran to juggle fatherhood with crime-solving. The search widens and leads to troubling revelations about the neighbourhood. The tension between Rudhran's paternal duties and professional instincts intensifies.

The pursuit leads to a warehouse where Rudhran and Bharathi are temporarily captured. They manage to contact the police just before losing consciousness, enabling a rescue mission to continue. The incident confirms a deliberate attempt to derail the case.

Back at the precinct, Rudhran finds the body of Mona, the first victim, shifting the case from a missing persons inquiry to a murderous investigation. The discovery links the Seattle events to the parallel farmhouse plot. It deepens the mystery and personal stakes.

Rudhran and Bharathi sense someone is diverting them from the truth. Ajay's missing on garbage collection day pushes Rudhran to the dump, but the clue leads to a dead end rather than a breakthrough. The search grows more complex as he pieces together inconsistent alibis.

Rudhran believes Ramya and Ajay's wife Alice are in danger and heads to Bharathi's house for warning and planning. The suspicion about a link between the missing people and the couple becomes personal. The tension narrows the focus to a single danger looming over a loved one.

Alice, formerly known as Nicole, suffered abuse at her father's hands and grows into a vengeful killer. She becomes a child care consultant and targets those who wronged her, killing Mona and Carlos. Ajay was the only positive person in her life, and she married him before turning to kidnapping.

Ajay sees Alice's childhood photo in a missing-person report and realizes her true identity. He witnesses her chopping up someone and is abducted, becoming a pawn in her vengeful scheme. The trust between Ajay and his father fractures in the heat of the moment.

Alice abducts Ramya after spotting the truck linked to the garbage clue, escalating the danger for Rudhran and Bharathi. The chase culminates in a tense confrontation where truth and loyalty collide. The lines between victim and perpetrator blur as the clock runs out.

In the final showdown, Rudhran escapes his captors and faces Alice, while Ajay regains his senses and realizes the full truth. Alice surrenders to the authorities after the brutal confrontation. The family is left to begin healing in the aftermath.

The police arrive to end the nightmare, and Rudhran delivers a closing message about standing up against child abuse. The symbol of Vellai Pookal blooms as a sign of hope for the future. The film closes on a note of resilience and protection for the vulnerable.
