Official trailer and plot of Idli Kadai
Idli Kadai tells the story of Murugan, a young man from a small town whose primary ambition is to rise above his humble beginnings and his family’s beloved idli shop, run by his father.
Driven by ambition, Murugan leaves behind his family and their shop in the village to pursue a career in Madurai. Several years later, he is forced to return home after his father passes away, which also leaves his marriage arrangement with his boss Vishnuvardhan’s daughter, Meera, in disarray.
Upon returning to his roots, Murugan inherits the family idli shop along with the challenges of running it. Using his experience from working in modern kitchens, he strives to take the family business forward while developing romantic feelings for Kayal.
