Plot

The film starts with children searching for Indrajit to convey the news that his father Krishna has returned from America. But Indrajit scares them away with his magictricks.

A great Magician Acharya (S.P. Balasubramaniam) and his grandson Indrajeet (Suraj Balajee) live happily in a palatial (plastic) house. The boy's mother died when he was an infant. The loving grandfather teaches him all the magic but does not sent him to school for basic education. Suddenly Indrajeet's father (Tirlok Malik) who runs a successful Indian channel in America lands up to take away his son for education. Indrajeet refuses to leave his grandfather but is (packed in a carton) and sent by magic to New York!!

Indrajeet wakes up in another house where he finds a Malayalam/Tamil/Hindi speaking English woman waking him up. He meets his stepmother (Pooja Kumar) but soon he runs away from home and befriends three run-aways and a wonder dog who belongs to Boss and Lude, two funny petty thieves. Meanwhile Acharya comes to New York in search of his grandson who gets kidnapped by the bumbling idiots and in the climax he, along with the dog, saves Indrajeet using all the 3D effects in the world!
