Painkili

Painkili

Sheeba, a young girl, tries desperately to escape her home in order to evade her marriage, which is fixed against her wishes by her parents. She attempts to elope and woo a local goon named Peter, hoping to use him to stand against her father, Baby, but all the plans backfire, and she is left without any option other than to return home. Suku is a local graphic design shop owner. He is a hopeless romantic and despises his father, Sujithkumar, for giving him an old-fashioned name. Suku's best friends are Paachan, who looks up to him and Aneesh alias Kunjaayi, who runs an electric repair shop. His neighbour Suma, a nurse, has feelings for him, but he doesn't reciprocate, citing that she's like a sister to him, much to her dismay. One day, he sets out to Coimbatore with Paachan to purchase a new digital printer. While they're at a Lodge for the night, a thief tries to steal Suku's motorcycle bullet. The friends pursue the thief, and Suku ends up accidentally killing him. Suku and Paachan escape from Coimbatore that night back to their village. Suku is completely shaken and doesn't want to go to jail, so Paachan introduces him to his uncle Thanku, a petty criminal well-versed in criminal law and police procedure. Thanku scares him that he'll surely be caught in no time and advises him to fake insanity as a plea. For that, he refers him to a mental health institution in order to forge a certificate to present in court.
