Plot

Vishnu, Pappan and Louis are three ex-convicts who live together at Pappan's abode, trying to pick up from where they had let their lives off before being jailed. After many unsuccessful efforts to find employment, they appeal to Dr. Isaac, who was a counsellor in the prison. He suggests that they consider some form of self-employment and he will support them. Vishnu converts Pappan's Omni into an ambulance. Pappan runs a playschool and Louis works for a driving school run by a neighbour, Grace, a widow. But Dr. Isaac has some other intentions in supporting them and this forms the crux of the story.

Reception

A critic from The Times of India wrote that "A story of three convicts out of prison to transform their lives, it could have been a much more enjoyable film, had Sugeeth done away with some of the stereotyped caricatures or some mushy sequences". A critic from Rediff.com wrote that "3 Dots held a lot of promise coming from the winning team of Ordinary, but this film turns out to be less than ordinary".
