==Plot==<br />
The story revolves around three small-time fraudsters, Peelipose aka Peeli ([[Kunchacko Boban]]), Achu ([[Vishnu Unnikrishnan]]) and Shaji ([[Hareesh Kanaran]]). They overhear a conversation between a priest and his assistant and learn about a tiger unleashing terror in a village called Kurudimalakaavu and the region’s panchayat member([[Manianpilla Raju]]) looking for a hunter.<br />
<br />
Peeli and his friends were already in trouble where they were and sensing an opportunity, move to the village as hunters, eyeing the Rs 5 lakh reward as also the rare panchaloha idol in a temple. They become the darling of the villagers when they succeed in capturing the beast, though by a fortunate turn of events. Instead of bagging the cash prize, they request that they are allowed to stay in the village, obviously to pocket the idol that would make them rich. But there is another twist to the tale or is it better described as a tail? The unfolding events take the story forward.<br />
