Official trailer and plot of Blue Star

Blue Star is set against the backdrop of the 1990s in a small village in Arakkonam, a place with a turbulent history involving two caste groups divided by a long-standing cricket rivalry. Ranjith and Rajesh, captains of their respective teams, are well aware of the deep-rooted animosity between the two communities.

As the movie progresses, a shocking incident is revealed to the audience—an event that sowed the initial seeds of discord between the groups. Since then, they have been banned from playing matches against each other.

While it seems improbable that these two vastly different teams, burdened by a history of rivalry, would ever unite, a common antagonist forces them to come together and fight side by side until the very end.
