Synopsis

Minmini

In 2016, at Streaks Matriculation School, in Ooty, Pari Mukilan "Pari", a charismatic student and accomplished football player, shared his high school classroom with newcomer Sabari Karthikeyan "Sabari", a studious and talented artist and chess enthusiast. While Pari dreamed of exploring the Himalayas on his bike, Sabari aspired to showcase his art in prestigious museums like the Louvre and Acropolis. Initially, Pari mocked and bullied Sabari, but they eventually developed a deeper understanding of each other. During a school trip to a nearby tribal village, their bus met with an accident. Sabari, still recovering from illness and struggling with asthma, was trapped. Pari courageously rescued him but succumbed to his injuries, leaving him brain-dead. The school mourned Pari's tragic loss. Overcoming this with remorse, Sabari regretted not expressing gratitude for Pari's lifesaving act.
