Lal Salaam¡¯s plot overview
Lal Salaam is set in the village of Murarbad, where Hindus and Muslims live in harmony. Two young cricketers, Thiru and Shamsuddin, represent this unity, and their fathers, Manickam and Moideen Bhai (played by Rajinikanth), are close friends. During a local cricket match, Thiru accidentally injures Shamsuddin, which sparks tensions between the communities. This small misunderstanding escalates into a serious communal conflict.
A local politician uses the unrest to fuel hatred and gain political mileage, making things worse by targeting lower-caste families and disrupting village festivals. As the situation spirals, Moideen Bhai works to bring the people back together. The film explores how easily peace can be broken by hate and politics, and how sports, friendship, and unity can help heal those divides.
