What is the story about?

"Maharaja" (played by Vijay Sethupathi) is a barber who loses his wife in an accident. His only companion is his daughter Jyothi. They live together in a house far from the city. One day, Maharaja arrives at a police station, covered in wounds, claiming that three intruders attacked him at his home. During the attack, they kidnapped Lakshmi, who had saved his daughter's life. He pleads with the police to find and rescue Lakshmi.

Who is this Lakshmi that Maharaja speaks of? Why did the police initially refuse to accept his complaint? Who were the three attackers, and what enmity do they have with Maharaja? These questions form the crux of the movie and can be answered by watching it.
