Plot

The ghost-fearing Raghava and his happy family consisting of his mother, brother, sister in law, and their daughter set out to Coimbatore for a family function, and there, the whole family, including Raghava's female cousins Priya, Kavya, and Divya, witness strange and scary incidents at their grandparents' house, as well as Raghava getting possessed. The subsequent events return to another character named Kaali.

Kaali is a social worker who runs an ashram that gives shelter and feeds poor people. He has also contributed to the studies of poor youths. One day, a politician named Bhavani, the brother of the minister, Shankar enters Kaali's ashram. He asks to keep a sum of 100 crores in his ashram, which is black money, and return 80 crores and keep 20 crores as a source of funding to his ashram. When Kaali refuses, he sends his men to kill Kaali's handicapped innocents, which angers Kaali. He then sets out to kill Bhavani's henchmen and finally him. When Bhavani is murdered, Shankar is angered and his assistant devises a plan to kill Kaali. When Rosie and Kaali take a ride on a bike, Shankar appoints two lorries and crushes them both. Rosie dies there, and Kaali dies watching the video of his ashram and his supporters getting destroyed in a fire.

The possessed Raghava sets out to kill Shankar. However, to his surprise, Shankar had already arranged exorcists to crush Kaali (possessed Raghava). However, surpassing them, he kills Shankar and avenges his death.

In the end credits, it is shown that Kaali and Rosie join hands together and walk. Kanchana 4 motion poster on the ending

Following the success of Kanchana 2 (2015), Raghava Lawrence confirmed that more films in the horror comedy series would continue to be made.

The shoot of the film began in Chennai during the first week of October 2017. Nivetha Joseph was the costume designer for this film.[11] The movie was released on Good Friday in 2019.[12]

Music

Raghava Lawrence selected Anirudh Ravichander to compose the music to this film.
