Vanangaan

Vanangaan

Koti, a deaf-mute man, resides in Kanyakumari with his sister Devi, relying on odd jobs for sustenance. Orphaned by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, they were rescued and sheltered by a compassionate local church priest. Despite his disability, Koti possesses a strong sense of justice, particularly regarding violence against women. He uses his physical strength to punish offenders, often landing himself in trouble. Tina, a local guide, has harboured a childhood crush on Koti, but he remains indifferent. Undeterred, Tina frequently teases Koti, who responds with physical aggression, yet she persists in her pursuit. Tina's parents disapprove of her feelings, but she disregards their concerns. Tina assists Koti in shutting down a wine shop near the church, and soon, Koti falls in love with Tina. With Tina and Devi's help, Koti secures a security guard and helper job at Mira Orphanage, run by Saradha Devi. Koti forms strong bonds with the children, particularly the teenage visually impaired girls. One day, Koti discovers three workers exploiting the girls' disability to voyeur them while they are bathing. Enraged, Koti murders two of the perpetrators and voluntarily surrenders to the police. This act shocks Devi, who abhors her brother's resort to violence. At the court, Koti declines to disclose the reason behind the murders, infuriating the judge, who orders his immediate imprisonment and a probe by DSP Kathiravan.
