Story:
Laddu (Vishnu Oi) arrives at Tihar Central Jail, striking fear into everyone around him. Curious about his past, a gang of prisoners asks what led him there. With a sigh, Laddu unravels his story—how his three friends, Manoj (Ram Nithin), Ashok (Narne Nithiin), and Damodhar (Sangeeth Sobhan), turned his wedding into a disaster, setting off a chain of events involving more people and unexpected twists that ultimately led to his downfall. Packed with fun, chaos, and surprises, the rest of the story is best experienced on the big screen.
