‘Blast’ Movie Storyline
The ‘Blast’ movie focuses on a middle-class family of three, where all of them are trained in martial arts. Arjun Sarja’s portrayal of Rajaraman, who is the root of his family’s martial arts background, as he is a professional martial arts trainer who believes every injustice must be confronted. Following in his footsteps, his daughter Nila (Preity Mukhundhan) and his wife Neelaveni (Abhirami) started believing the same philosophy, and stand firmly against wrongdoing.
Their peaceful life takes a dangerous turn when they unknowingly interfere with a dangerous gangster group’s massive illegal deal. The key reason behind this is not only Rajaraman crossing paths but also involvement in disrupting their illegal mega-deal of thousands of crores. How the family will survive by using their martial arts skills is worth watching on big screens.
