Maanaadu is a time loop film, engaging, entertaining, and innovative from the word go. Abdul Khaliq travels by plane to Coimbatore to take part in his Hindu friend Moorthy’s wedding ceremony. He befriends Seethalakshmi, his co-passenger on the flight. On their way back from the wedding, they run into a man named Rafeeq only to learn that Dhanushkodi, a corrupt high-rank cop, and his subordinates try to assassinate the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu during a grand political gathering. Somehow, Abdul Khaliq and his friends get involved in the affair but his task to prevent the CM from getting murdered is complicated by the fact that he finds himself caught in a time loop … and quite oviously, he is not the only one.
