Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Yemaali is the story of Maali and his brother-from-another-mother, Aravind, and how they plan on killing Maali’s ex-girlfriend. They even call the ‘project’ Yemaali, a wordplay on both their names. But why do they want to kill this girl? Because she broke up with him, of course.
