Plot:
Power Paandi, a retired stuntman, is living with his son Raghavan and his family. He is very close to his grandchildren but feels restless and yearns for more than his mundane routine. His attempts to find part-time work cause friction with his son. Seeking freedom, Paandi leaves home with his Royal Enfield Bullet and his savings.
On his journey, he meets a group of elderly bikers and shares his story, including his first love, Poonthendral, whom he lost contact with years ago. He sets out to find her, and eventually does. Poonthendral invites him to her home, where he is reunited with his son and grandson.
The film explores themes of love, family, aging, and the desire for freedom and adventure, regardless of age. Paandi and Poonthendral's reunion brings them joy and a sense of completeness, while Raghavan learns to understand and respect his father's need for independence. The movie beautifully portrays the complexities of relationships and the importance of pursuing one's passions.
