Plot

Soorarai Pottru Plot.tringThe film follows the journey of Nedumaaran, who is a simple man from a rural area with a dream to start his own airline. Despite facing numerous challenges and obstacles, he never loses hope and works tirelessly to achieve his goal. Despite his lack of experience and resources, he manages to raise enough funds and starts his own airline. However, he soon faces stiff competition from established airlines who try to thwart his efforts at every turn.

One incident in his life leads him to this journey. Maara attempted to schedule a flight home as his father lay dying, but he lacked the funds. He makes multiple unsuccessful requests for cash assistance from people at the airport. After a lengthy journey by car and rail, he arrives at his home to find that his father has passed away and that his final rituals have been performed.

Despite facing numerous obstacles, he never gives up on his dream and continues to work towards making his airline a success.
