Sampath is an expert in car, seizing, and works for Atul Kulkarni, who is a financier in North Madras. Burma aka Parandhaman works under Sampath for peanuts and the moment he comes to know the true colors of his boss; he makes his crooked intelligence to show the jail for Sampath and eventually gains the trust from Atul after creating his own brand for siezing cars. Sampath comes back from the jail and secretly plans the downfall of Burma. Burma gets an opportunity to seize 28 cars and he has completed 99% of his job without any fuss only to get stuck on the last car. What happens to Burma and to the rest of lead characters forms the rest of the story with parallel stories layered like a double decker sandwich.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Burma captures the specific ecosystem of Chennai's informal car financing networks, where seizure agents operate in legal gray zones between lenders and defaulters.
The 'double decker sandwich' structure mirrors the film's own production struggles — Dharani Dharan's debut was stuck in development limbo for years, making Burma's 99% paralysis weirdly autobiographical.
