šŸŽ¬ What’s the Plot, Bro?

In a fictional Andhra village called Chitti Jayapuram, they bury the dead—until they suddenly run out of space! šŸ’€ā˜ ļø The new female village head, ApoorvaĀ (Keerthy Suresh), has to deal with stubborn elders and superstitions. She and Chinni, the gravedigger (Suhas), cook up a wild lottery to choose who gets buried! The whole thing snowballs into full-on chaos.
