Synopsis

On February 16, 2016, a brilliant scientist named John Stephen is hunted down and murdered by a gangster Victor, who sends his brother Martin and a group of henchmen to eliminate him. Before dying, Stephen desperately tries to protect a secret invention — a mysterious camera with the ability to manipulate time. Months later, on October 22, 2016, three young men — Kali, Kumar, and Murugan — stumble upon the same vintage camera in a second-hand shop. Curious, they test it by taking a photo, only to realize that they’ve unknowingly traveled half an hour into the past. As they experiment further, they discover the camera can transport them across different times — but only within a specific loop. What begins as a thrilling exploration quickly turns into a nightmare. They witness impossible events, including people appearing in photos who weren’t there a moment earlier, and find themselves repeating moments that have already happened. When Kumar tries to use the camera to see his future, he vanishes, only to reappear in the timeline of John Stephen’s murder. Now trapped in the past, the trio races to stop the murder from happening. They manage to save Stephen and learn that the camera itself was his invention — and the very reason Victor wanted him dead. But their rescue attempt triggers a deeper time paradox. Stephen warns that if the camera isn't destroyed, it could fall into the wrong hands again, risking the fabric of time itself. As the friends plead for a way back to their present, Stephen agrees to help — on one condition: once they return, they must destroy the camera forever. But temptation returns when Kumar breaks his promise, using it once more... only to get caught again in the exact time loop they tried to escape.
