Plot
A getaway driver who refers to himself by various names (such as "James Bond," "Mani Ratnam," or "Sunil Gavaskar," and "Sachin Tendulkar) but never reveals his actual name is assigned by a local criminal named Das to deliver a woman named Shakeela to Pooran Singh in Mussoorie. Shakeela is an orphan who has failed her driving test 14 times. The driver is constantly irritated by Shakeela's antics during the journey to Mussoorie but soon falls in love with her. At Mussoorie, he kills Pooran and learns that Shakeela will be delivered to Daksha Bhai, an upper-caste landlord from an Uttarakhand village.
The driver delivers Shakeela to Daksha and is invited to stay at his ancestral mansion for a festival. During the stay, he finds out why Shakeela has been delivered to Daksha: Shakeela is the doppelgänger of Daksha Bhai's sister Gadgi Moi, a cruel, merciless upper-caste leader who has been sentenced to death for orchestrating a massacre against the lower-caste people. Daksha Bhai plans to send Shakeela to jail in place of Gadgi, who has been released on parole, to perform the last rites of her dead grandmother. The plan backfires as Shakeela escapes from the police.
In the chaos that ensues, Gadgi breaks her cover and kidnaps Shakeela, planning to kill her on a moving train, but the driver arrives to save Shakeela and defeats Gadgi. He kills Gadgi by throwing her off the train and in anger Daksha kills Shakeela. Later, Daksha realizes that he had killed Gadgi and the driver had thrown Shakeela into his car. Distraught at Gadgi's death, Daksha commits suicide by jumping off the train with her corpse. Ultimately, the driver and Shakeela, who are now in a relationship, happily drive back to Chennai. During the journey, the driver whispers his real name in Shakeela's ear, to which she reacts disgustingly.

The soundtrack album features 8 songs composed by D. Imman, featuring a piece of theme music, male and female version of the title track and two karaoke versions of the songs. While all the song lyrics were written by Madhan Karky, Mani Amudhavan penned both the male and female versions of the title track "10 Endrathukulla". Sony Music acquired the audio rights of the film and subsequently for legal purchase as a soundtrack on digital music platform, iTunes.
The first track, "Vroom Vroom," is penned by Madhan Karky, and rendered by Santhosh Hariharan, with backing vocals by D. Imman. The song is termed as a racy bike ride with this eerie number supported well by thumping rhythm and amazing bass guitar. The vocal renders the tune with supreme confidence and mastery. Here is a James Bond from Tamil Nadu musically presented in style by Imman-which happened never before! One will be surprised to find Indian musical instruments like Sitar and Mrudangam effortlessly fusing in this mélange.
The male version of the title track "10 Endrathukulla" is rendered by Vishal Dadlani, with rap portions by Emcee Jesz. Experimentation gets a new dimension further when the sequencing sounds like a motorcycle ride in a convincing manner. Vishal Dadlani's urbane voice is a perfect fit for this contemporary chase genre composition. The live drumming and freaky electric guitars are like a detour to Classic Rock of the 80s, but just when that is assumed, a layer of Hip-Hop chorus arrives from nowhere! Watch out for the mesmerizing electric guitar solo in the first interlude- which defines the soul of the album.
The female version of "10 Endrathukulla" is performed by Vaikom Vijayalakshmi. The raciest track of the album gets a different treatment from the season's favorite vocalist Vaikom Vijayalakshmi. While the first version focused on Classic Rock, this version gives its tribute to Hip-Hop beats, addictive Trance and House mix riffs. A totally new perspective of a trendy track is a brilliant treat for the ears!
