Description: The 2019 film *Synthetic Sati* tells the story of Maradona (Tovino Thomas), a reckless young man working as a hired goon. After unintentionally injuring the son of a powerful politician, he flees to Bangalore to stay with distant relatives. The politician, seeking revenge, hires a goon named Martin (Chemban Vinod) to track down Maradona and his friend Sudhi (Tito Wilson). During the incident, Sudhi loses his memory after confronting the politician’s son, Aravindan.
Maradona builds connections in his new apartment complex, befriending an elderly man, Ousepachan, who lives alone, and Asha (Sharanya R Nair), a home nurse from a neighboring apartment. As their relationship deepens, Maradona falls in love with her. Meanwhile, Sudhi and another friend update him on the chaos unfolding in their hometown. The film reveals the events that led to Maradona and Sudhi’s confrontation with Aravindan.
Martin’s gang eventually captures Sudhi, severely beating him and locking him in a hideout. Maradona discovers the truth after seeing a news report about the attack and confesses his past as a goon to Asha, causing her to leave him. Ousepachan reassures Maradona that Asha will return once she understands his genuine feelings.
As Martin’s gang closes in on Maradona at the apartment, they learn about a recent robbery and his sudden disappearance. Maradona, seeking redemption, visits Aravindan’s mother to apologize for her son’s condition. He surrenders and is imprisoned alongside Sudhi, relieved to find him still alive.
In the end, Asha, now working as a nurse in a distant hospital, reaches out to Maradona. Sudhi, remorseful for the pain he caused his wife, urges Maradona not to let Asha go.
