Plot

The city is being shaken by many heart-stopping crimes taking place at different places. Young women are being molested and killed with alarming frequency. Velu (Kreshna) helps his father Subramaniam (Prakash Raj) in stealing. Being seasoned thieves, they rob everything right from pins to cars. A spate of young women are murdered, and these developments rock the city. Thiagarajan (Azhagam Perumal), a tough cop, investigates the case. However, differences of opinions crop between the Police Commissioner (Biju Menon) and Thiagarajan. One day, Velu saves the commissioner from a meeting in order to steal the commissioner car's audio player, and gets acquainted with him. Velu then begins to fall for Janani (Janani), who works in a bank. One day, when Velu withdraws money, he is shocked to find the balance amount to be Rs. 5 Lakhs. It suddenly swells to Rs. 30 Lakhs and reaches Rs. 70 Lakhs. That is when Subramaniam realizes that this is no mere coincidence. Someone was smartly using them as a pawn to cover up for other more serious activities. They were being used as the 'third man', a pretty common term in criminal parlance. Before they realize, all of them are caught in the web that was laid out. Who laid it out, how and why and do they eventually come out of it forms Alibaba. Subramaniam comes to Velu's rescue and manages to find the reason behind it. When the family begins to find out the reason behind this act, it results in bloodshed and gore, eventually ending up in Velu coming across the killers of young women in the city.

Critical reception

Sify wrote "On the whole Neelan definitely has the stuff in him, for a first timer his screenplay and narration is impressive, but towards the end goes overboard."[2] Behindwoods wrote "Overall, Alibaba is a movie that relies on the suspense element to carry it through and the director has understood this very well, he is on the button."[3]

gollark: Hmm, what if YOU are to contribute to minoteaur or else?
gollark: I'll start up the fabricators.
gollark: Interesting. Should I push ahead with the osmarks.net Mars facilities?
gollark: Anyway, this would never happen on Linux. My swap partition is only 12GB. Which is excessive and I don't know why I did that.
gollark: <@332271551481118732> Do you think I can find minoteaur contributors? All I need is people who know Nim/web stack, can somehow fit with my programming style, and who share approximately the same extremely vague vision.
