Inspired by the Tamil Nadu Police’s Kaavalan app initiative, the film is said to weave social awareness into a gripping, high-stakes narrative.

Shaam, on the other hand, essays the role of a police officer tasked with solving a series of crimes.
At its core, the story revolves around a mysterious criminal gang operating under the influence of an acupuncture doctor.
