Despite their financial difficulties and Sumathi’s efforts to earn extra income, Manickam chooses integrity when an elderly man, unable to pay for a lottery ticket, unknowingly selects the winning number worth crores.
Determined to return the ticket, Manickam embarks on a challenging journey, facing opposition from his family, false accusations from the police, and numerous hurdles. His honesty is rooted in a childhood lesson from a compassionate lottery seller who profoundly influenced his values.
