Bloody Beggar
The movie starts with four cruel siblings bullying their uncle's son. On pretext of celebrating his birthday, they end up killing him in a brutal beat down. Camera rolls to Kavin, who plays as a lazy but witty beggar, who spends his days fooling people by employing various acts such as blind, disabled, limb-less etc., and successfully extorting money from them via their sympathy. He lives in a dilapidated house with a boy named jack. One day, when he is invited to eat at the death of a rich actor, he gets stuck inside the dead actor's mansion while exploring. The rich man leaves behind his property to his children. But on his will, his children with their respective families get to know that the majority of his property has been given to his illegitimate son, born out of wedlock. Now, a crooked lawyer who is in cahoots with one of the siblings and also desires to usurp this property makes Kavin pose as said illegitimate son.
