Rathi (Khushbu), a music video director, lives with her husband Ravi (Nassar) and their two kids. However, she is unaware that her husband is actually a robber. He carries outsmart crimes with his partner Sabesan (Prakash Raj). The police officer Dev (Thalaivasal Vijay) is pressured to arrest them. After a diamond heist gone wrong, Ravi finally gets caught while Sabesan escapes. Ravi managed to hide the diamonds in his house before being hauled off by the police. During the police custody, Ravi is shot by Dev, injuring him heavily. So Ravi is moved to the hospital, and the doctors eventually save his life. Thereafter, Sabesan goes to his ward and questions Ravi about the diamonds. Sabesan even killed his partner to leave oneself a way out. Sabesan is now urged to find the diamonds and enters Rathi's household as Ravi's friend. What transpires later forms the crux of the story.

Reception

Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "The story had the potential for an engaging thriller. If only the director had kept a firm grip on the script and handled the scenes effectively. The narrative leaves many questions unanswered, and the script has so many holes that one could make a sieve out of it. The artistes too could have been better guided. It's a thriller gone haywire". [4] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "If the screenplay had been tightened up a little, Chinna Chinna Kannilae would have probably been more gripping". [5]
