A genie named Karkimuki is cursed by a Siddhar after disturbing a centuries-old thavam, forcing him to remain on Earth as a statue until he can be released within 48 days. A young boy named Thirunavukarusu, who has a stammering problem, releases Karkimuki and forms an unlikely friendship with the genie. As they spend more time together, Thiru learns valuable lessons about confidence and self-acceptance, but struggles to overcome his stammer in public.
