Following a break-in, a barber seeks revenge, cryptically informing police that his “lakshmi” has been taken—leaving them unsure of whether it’s a person or an item. His search for the elusive “lakshmi” comes to pass.
To the amusement of the station, Maharaja goes to the local police station to report a robbery, claiming that their dustbin Lakshmi has been taken. He tells them the entire story, claiming that Lakshmi was taken by an armed gang that broke into his home and assaulted him. At first, the police dismiss the case because they don’t think it’s worth their time and effort to search for something as simple as an empty trash can. Maharaja refuses to back down in the face of their persistent rejection and even violent threats. When he guarantees a bribe of ₹5 lakhs upon identifying the culprits, they finally agree to take the case. Using Nallasivam, a former prisoner who is now an informant, the police locate Lakshmi.
It is now known that Maharaja, his wife, and their daughter had visited Kokila at her new home to return the jewelry set following Selvam’s arrest. A truck crashed into Selvam’s home when Maharaja was on his way to buy Ammu a gift; everyone was killed, except for Ammu, who is spared by Lakshmi. Ammu is raised by Maharaja as his own daughter Jyothi after being adopted. Selvam becomes aware that he had unintentionally participated in the rape and assault of his own daughter when he notices a scar on Jyothi’s shoulder that resembles the scar on Ammu, the toddler. Guilt-ridden, Selvam tumbles from the building and perishes while Ammu, Maharaja, and Aasifa leave.
