• The Setting & Premise: Set against the dry, arid landscapes of a drought-hit village in Ramanathapuram, the plot follows a blunt temple priest named Manivasagar (played by Yogi Babu) who falls in love with a local village girl, Yazhini.

• The Prehistoric Twist: When Yazhini’s father rejects the marriage proposal due to severe water scarcity in the region, the villagers advise Manivasagar to dig a fresh well right in front of his house. Instead of finding water, they unexpectedly unearth a 66-million-year-old dinosaur fossil.

• Satirical Social Commentary: The discovery of the ancient fossil turns the village upside down, spinning into a larger political and social conspiracy that cleverly addresses institutional bureaucracy, greed, and the ongoing water crisis.

• Talented Ensemble Cast: Alongside Yogi Babu’s lead performance as the temple priest, the film features strong supporting roles from Lovelyn Chandrashekhar as Yazhini, George Maryan as the District Collector, and Raichel Rabecca as Devanaayaki.
