Karuppu (2026)

<p>Binu and her father travel from Kerala to Chennai by train for Binu’s liver transplant treatment, carrying 60 sovereigns of gold meant to fund the surgery. During a halt at an intermediate station, a group of thieves steal their bag. The duo file a complaint at a nearby police station, where the police later claim to have recovered only 45 sovereigns of the stolen gold. They are informed that the jewels can only be returned through a Return of Property petition filed in court. Desperate to recover the gold, Binu and her father approach Baby Kannan, a powerful advocate who controls the local court through corruption and influence. Instead of helping them, Baby Kannan deliberately drags the case for money, exploiting the family until they slowly lose hope of getting the jewels back. Unable to bear the injustice any longer, Binu’s father prays to and seeks help from Vettai Karuppu , the guardian deity of the Seven Wells, also known as Ellaswamy. Karuppu decides to punish Baby Kannan and enters the court disguised as a newly transferred advocate named Saravanan to fight Binu’s case legally.</p>
