Coolie

Coolie

At the Visakhapatnam harbour, Simon runs an operation trafficking gold and luxury watches under his logistics company "Kingpin Logistics" with his lieutenant Dayalan "Dayal". Simon's son, Arjun, had rejected his father's criminal business and instead works as a customs officer. Palanisamy, an undercover police officer posing as a coolie, is killed by Dayal, who then offers a ₹2 crore (US$210,000) reward for exposing another undercover officer in the gang. In Chennai, Devaraj "Deva" runs a strict boarding house. After learning of his friend Rajasekhar's death, he attends the funeral, but Rajasekhar's daughter Preethi drives him away. A drunken friend, Ravi, admits that he and Rajasekhar ruined their lives, prompting Deva to investigate. Though the autopsy claims a heart attack, Deva finds evidence of chest trauma. Ravi reveals that Rajasekhar, to fund his daughters' education, had invented an electric chair for cremating animal remains. When his patent was rejected for concern of criminal misuse, Simon coerced him into using it to dispose of murder victims. Dayal tries to abduct Preethi as she knows how to operate the chair, but Deva intervenes and joins the operation, using the chair with her help. Deva tells Preethi to quit her job, but Preethi is helpless as she wants to support her sisters. Eventually, Simon asks Deva to bury Dayal, claiming he was an undercover cop. They discover Dayal alive; he reveals his identity and threatens Preethi.
