Jannal Oram is a remake of 2012 Malayalam film “Ordinary”, starring Kunchacko Boban and Biju Menon. Tamil Jannal Oram directed by Karu Palaniappan who returns to his seat of work after Sadhurangam and Mandira Punnagai.
Story Subbu (Vemal) who aspires to become the Chief Minister gets the job of a conductor on the only bus plying on the long route from Pazhani to Pannaikadu! The driver of this bus is Karuppu (Parthiepan), a typical family man who goes about his daily work with a smile!
The people of Pannaikadu consider Subbu and Karuppu as part of their clan! Many characters in the village are unique and leave a mark! There is Nirmala David (Poorna), an orphan who is being raised by Vinayagam (Rajesh)! Rajesh wants to marry her off to his son Shiva (Sanjay Barathi). Saami (Vidharth) is another orphan, doing odd jobs around the village.
Justin (Ramana), Nirmala’s fellow teacher has an eye on her, and wants to marry her! Many other characters like a chronic drunk, a tea shop owner, a church priest, the tea shop owner’s daughter – who has a thing for Karuppu and quite a number of others! One day, Karuppu becomes a little too drunk to maneuver the bus on the narrow winding roads to Pannaikadu, and Subbu takes over the driving duty.
Unfortunately in the dark, the bus hits a person. When Subbu checks out, it happens to be Shiva, who is badly injured. Not wanting to be indicted of any wrongdoing, Subbu and Karuppu stop a passing jeep and ask them to admit the injured Shiva at a hospital! However, it comes to light that Shiva was not admitted to any hospital, but murdered. The police arrest Subbu in connection with Shiva’s murder! Why was Shiva not admitted to any hospital? Who murdered him? With so many characters, the suspicion is divided equally on all of them! Subbu has a secret. What is it? Watch Jannal Oram on the big screen to know the answers to all of this!
