Jiivi (2021)aravanan (Vettri) comes to Chennai from a small village in Madurai and works in a juice cum tea stall where Mani (Karunakaran) is the tea master. He is not literate but has gained a lot of knowledge through reading though belonging to a lower middle-class family. Saravanan's lover jilts him citing his meagre existence which pushes him into depression and he decides to rob jewels from his house owner (Rohini) who considers him a brother. The young man then uses all the intelligence he has picked up over the years to perfectly plan and execute the crime and also frames a neighbour who he does not like. Even as Vettri successfully gets away with the crime he discovers a deeper connection between him and his actions to something from the past and what that is and how he escapes from that forms the rest of the intelligent screenplay.
