Source-derived summary

Repeat Shoe is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Kalyaan and starring Yogi Babu, Priya Kalyaan and Dileepan. The plot revolves around a scientist who attempts to save a girl from child trafficking through his invention of a shoe that can time travel.

The film was theatrically released on 14 October 2022 to mixed reviews.

Plot

Dileepan, a scientist, creates a pair of technical shoes with the ability to time travel, that will either go back in time for 10 days or 10 minutes depending on which shoe is hit on the ground. He attempts to test the shoe by trying to speed and escape, however gets caught. Whilst running away, he throws the shoes into a bush so that the police chasing after him do not get it, and he encounters Priya, a maternal orphan and uses her as a threat to the police officers to leave him.

Maari, an aspiring rowdy waiting for an assignment, wishes to show that he is apt to become a rowdy to his friends and tries to shoot the police officers chasing Dileepan from an above building. He instead shoots Dileepan, and Priya runs away.

The next day, Priya, who works at her drunkard father's cobbler stall before school, encounters Maari as her customer. He asks her to repair his sentimental shoes in two days in exchange for a makeover of the stall, which Priya agrees to.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as 2022 Indian film. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q115803347. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
