Plot

Dileepan, a scientist, creates a pair of technical shoes with the ability to time travel, that will either go back in time for 10 days or 10 minutes depending on which shoe is hit on the ground. He attempts to test the shoe by trying to speed and escape, however gets caught. Whilst running away, he throws the shoes into a bush so that the police chasing after him do not get it, and he encounters Priya, a maternal orphan and uses her as a threat to the police officers to leave him.

Maari, an aspiring rowdy waiting for an assignment, wishes to show that he is apt to become a rowdy to his friends and tries to shoot the police officers chasing Dileepan from an above building. He instead shoots Dileepan, and Priya runs away.

The next day, Priya, who works at her drunkard father's cobbler stall before school, encounters Maari as her customer. He asks her to repair his sentimental shoes in two days in exchange for a makeover of the stall, which Priya agrees to. However Priya loses the shoe and attempts to calm Maari down by playing with him. She also finds Dileepan's shoe and gives it to him, stating it will give him good luck. Maari develops a soft spot for her.

Priya's father decides to sell her to a child trafficking group in exchange for ₹100,000 (US$1,300), where girls there are regularly transported to different places to avoid police and are used as prostitutes. Priya encourages the girls to escape, and they plot a plan.

Dileepan comes out of the hospital and tries to find his shoe, where he learns that Priya took it. Whilst trying to find her, he learns that her father sold her. He then tries to go to the place, where he understands that the girls are currently attempting to escape. Maari also learns that Priya has been sold, and tries to find her too. Dileepan fights with the people there and frees the girls, but also sees that Priya had died.

Maari also manages to come, and Dileepan sees that Maari is wearing his shoes. He begs Maari to give them back, which Maari reluctantly does so. Dileepan then uses the shoes to travel back in time to the point he was threatening the police using Priya, where he dodges Maari's bullet and escapes, letting Priya go and escaping the police. He then stops Priya's drunkard father as he takes her to sell her whilst they are travelling to the place, and takes Priya with him. Finally, he intercepts the child trafficking group whilst they were transporting the girls and saves them.
