Description: The movie *Maradona* (2018) tells the story of a hired goon named Maradona, played by Tovino Thomas. After accidentally injuring the son of a powerful politician, Maradona moves to Bangalore to live with distant relatives. The politician, seeking revenge, hires another goon, Martin (Chemban Vinod), to track down Maradona and his friend Sudhi (Tito Wilson), who was involved in the altercation and lost his memory afterward.
In Bangalore, Maradona befriends several people in his apartment building, including Ousepachan, an elderly man living alone, and Asha (Sharanya R Nair), a home nurse whom he eventually falls in love with. Meanwhile, Sudhi informs Maradona about the ongoing turmoil in their hometown. During the film’s second half, the events leading to the fight with the politician’s son, Aravindan, are revealed.
Martin and his gang capture Sudhi, severely beat him, and lock him in a hideout. Maradona learns of Sudhi’s capture through a news report and confesses his past as a goon to Asha, who leaves him. Ousepachan consoles Maradona, assuring him that Asha will return once she understands his true feelings.
When Martin’s gang arrives at the apartment to find Maradona, they discover he has gone missing after a robbery. Unbeknownst to them, Maradona visits Aravindan’s home to apologize to his mother for his actions. Maradona surrenders and is imprisoned with Sudhi, relieved to find his friend alive. Asha later contacts Maradona, now working as a nurse in a hospital, while Sudhi expresses regret for ruining his wife’s life and urges Maradona not to let go of Asha.
