Maargan

Maargan

Ramya is killed late at night by an injection of an intravenous chemical substance that turns her body numb and then completely black before death. Noticing similarities to a past case involving the death of former ADGP Dhruv Guvarak's daughter, Priya, Dhruv comes from Mumbai to Chennai to unofficially take over the investigation aided by Inspector Sruthi and constable Kaali. Dhruv begins the investigation from Ramya's boyfriend, Karthik, a photographer who is soon to work on a feature film directed by Rajesh. Dhruv discovers that a chain with a unique pendant gifted by Karthik to Ramya is missing after her murder. Karthik informs Dhruv that the pendant was gifted by a friend, but does not disclose much more information. When checking the surveillance cameras near the crime scene, they spot a young boy jogging in the late hours, but cannot see his face as it is covered by a hoodie. Meanwhile, Dhruv spots the same design of Ramya's pendant drawn on a dusty car and takes fingerprint samples. The forensic analysis leads to Tamilarivu, who was earlier booked in a drug smuggling case. Tamilarivu, a swimmer with an exceptional ability to hold his breath underwater for extended periods, is apprehended by Dhruv. They hold him in an isolated room, and as time passes, Tamilarivu becomes agitated, drinks surplus water, and begins chanting old hymns written by Kalangi Siddar. He demands the pills he has been consuming and becomes violent before fainting.
