They are then scolded by a quick-tempered stranger named AK ([[Prakash Raj]]), who tells them that today's young people are immature and good-for-nothing. The friends are about to prove him wrong.

	Nandhini Velu Nachiyar ([[Srushti Dange]]), Reshmi Kaur (Amrita Chhabria), Mahesh Muthusamy (Nadhim Khan), Mohammed Aslam (Roshan Nawaz), and Angelina Kristy (Nakshatra) were [[visual communication]] students and best friends. After ~~the~~ graduation, they had to split up and to go in different directions. ~~Then they~~ met the ~~[[Magic (illusion)\|~~magician]] Thyagu ([[Krishnakumar Balasubramanian]]), and everything changed. Thyagu and Nandhini were childhood friends and ~~were~~ in love with each other. However, both were from different castes. Nandhini's brother-in-law Raja Rajasekharan (Vijay Gopal) was a despicable caste fanatic and an influential person. He had hatred towards every caste other than his and wanted his community people to get a high ~~post~~ in ~~the~~ society. Thereafter, the six friends formed a group named "Mantra", performing dance, magic, or songs for ~~advertisement~~ companies. When Raja was made aware of Nandhini's love, he killed her and swept this issue under the rug. The five friends protested ~~to grant~~ justice for Nandhini's death, but the police force stopped the protest and beat up the friends. The five then started a TV show in which they exposed the truth behind Nandhini's death.

	When the four friends reach their destination, AK is shocked to see Thyagu and Nandhini together. He ~~later~~ reveals that he is actually a CBI officer who was in charge of Raja's case and then forces the friends to tell him what happened. The friends reveal that Nandhini's death was a sham and they used a fake body to make it look like Nandhini. Also, Raja committed suicide when the police tried to arrest him for a murder ~~he did not commit~~. While AK is initially unhappy ~~at first~~, he praises the youngsters for their ~~braveness~~ and hushes up the case, revealing his real name as Ananthakrishnan. He then departs as the six friends rejoice ~~in happiness~~.		When the four friends reach their destination, AK is shocked to see Thyagu and Nandhini together.
