Plot
Two brothers, Periya Kaaka Muttai (Vignesh) and Chinna Kaaka Muttai (Ramesh), live in a Chennai slum with their mother (Iyshwarya Rajesh) and grandmother, while their father is in prison. They sustain themselves by stealing crow's eggs for nutrition. When a glitzy pizza parlor opens on the site of their former playground, the boys are captivated by the television commercials and develop an intense desire to taste a pizza. They undertake various odd jobs to save the 300 rupees needed to buy one. However, when they finally gather the money and approach the shop, they are turned away due to their shabby clothes. This rejection spirals into a media sensation, highlighting the stark class divide in the city.
