Mayavi (2007)

In the shadowy underbelly of the city, a cunning character emerges, known only by the moniker, Mayavi. Beneath this guise, Mahi, a man of extraordinary talents, moves stealthily, evading capture and dispensing justice without ever revealing his identity. His unique abilities often lead him to the solitary confines of a prison cell, where fate introduces him to Balan, a fellow convict with a desperate secret. Balan’s life outside the jail walls is entwined with the fate of his critically ill brother, teetering on the precipice of life and death, his only hope resting on the shoulders of an exorbitant medical operation. Amid this turmoil, a divine twist of luck graces Mahi, as he's selected as the solitary prisoner to be granted pardon on the auspicious day of Independence. With Balan chained by his sentence and the clock ticking ominously for his brother, Mahi pledges to orchestrate the impossible — procuring the unreachable funds. A lethal bargain is struck as he's hired to commit a dark deed — a homicide, in exchange for the life-saving money. However, a profound realization washes over Mahi, awakening his moral compass. Now caught in the crossfire of his dual identity, he must navigate the treacherous path of deceit. As the innocent goon, Mahi, he must wear the mask of servitude, while under the cover of darkness, Mayavi, unleashes a tempest on the villains. Embark on this gripping journey as Mahi balances the scales of justice, protecting the innocent and punishing the wicked, all while threading the thin line between right and wrong. This intricate tale of friendship, sacrifice, and retribution forms the pulsating heart of Mayavi.
