Kokki (film)

Kokkisaamy (Karan) is a rugged but kindhearted orphan who works as a barber at his guardian's saloon in Chennai. He was released from prison a month before, after completing his seven-year punishment for killing a man who tried to harass a girl. When Kokki is set to go to Malaysia for his job, he is sent to Uppiliappan's (Kota Srinivasa Rao) house in order to get a haircut. That day, Uppili wakes up and accidentally sees Kokki's face instead of his favourite god's. As a coincidence, that day brings more fortune to Uppili's life. His astrologer thinks that it is the power of waking up to Kokki's face. The next day, Uppili's men want Kokki for a seven-year contract as they think the fortune will continue if Kokki is with them. But Kokki rejects the offer and tries to leave the city. A frustrated Uppili sends his goons to find Kokki, and they take his passports and other documents. Kokki files a complaint against Uppili at the police station, but the corrupt police inspector tries to frame Kokki for a crime that he did not commit. Kokki escapes from the station and hides inside a ladies' hostel that night.

A girl from the hostel named Raaji (Pooja Gandhi) acts as if trying to commit suicide by hanging herself at her college drama rehearsal. The scenario backfires on her as she almost ends up dying by hanging. Upon seeing this, Kokki saves her with his effort. She gives food and shelter to him after hearing his story. Kokki leaves the hostel and runs all over the city when the cops chase him. In the chase, a policeman dies in a road accident. However, the police inspector who previously tried to frame Kokki files a charge that Kokki killed the policeman. Kokki tries to leave the city with the help of Raaji, but Uppili's gang kidnaps her as bait for Kokki. When Kokki comes to rescue Raaji, he kills Uppili in order to save her. The movie ends with Raaji recovering at a hospital and Kokki being arrested for killing Uppili.
