Trailer and Plot
The trailer offers a glimpse into a quirky village where water scarcity has become such a serious issue that families refuse to marry their daughters into the community. At the center of the story is Manivasagar, a kind-hearted priest and skilled sculptor who falls in love with Yazhini. However, her father rejects the marriage proposal, unwilling to send his daughter to a village battling an endless water crisis.
Determined to solve the problem, the villagers begin digging for water, hoping to transform their future. Instead of discovering a new water source, they stumble upon a 66-million-year-old dinosaur fossil buried deep beneath the ground. The astonishing discovery attracts the attention of government officials and bureaucrats, turning the once-forgotten village into the center of a much larger battle over power, resources, and control.
What begins as a lighthearted tale about love and survival gradually evolves into a sharp satire on bureaucracy, politics, and the unequal distribution of basic resources. Blending humor with social commentary, the film explores how an extraordinary discovery changes the fate of an ordinary village.
