Mudhalvan (Tamil)
The story focuses on Pughazhendhi (Arjun). He happens to be an
ambitious TV cameraman, working for “Q TV”. His opposite person is
the Chief Minister (CM) of the state, played by Raghuvaran. During riots
triggered by a fight between some college students and bus drivers,
which threaten to touch upon the touchy issue of castes, the CM
reveals his unwillingness to take strong action to quell the
violence for fear of estranging any of his (political) bases. To
set things right, he then appears on a (live) interview with
Pughazhendi, who had coincidentally captured the CM's earlier
unwillingness to take a stand, on camera.
In this interview in response to Pughazh's pointed questioning
about the poor working of his government, the CM ducks the question
by instead talking about how difficult his job is, and by
challenging Pugazh to be the CM for one day. Pugazh reluctantly
accepts the seat of the Chief Minister in the place of Aranganathan
(Raghuvaran). Educated and
vigilant, Pugazh moves fast. He takes care of almost every aspect
in a day's time, giving the slum their rightful apartments and
getting jobs for the unemployed, suspending inefficient and corrupt
government officers. All the way he is assisted by the secretary,
Mayakrishnan (Manivannan). As the last act of
the day he gets Aranganathan arrested as he is the root of all the
corruption. But Aranganathan bails out, passes an ordinance to
nullify all orders passed by Pugazh when he was the CM. Taking
Pugazh's success as an insult, Aranganathan sends goons to get him
killed and destroys his house.
Meanwhile Pugazh falls in love with an innocent village girl
called Thenmozhi (Manisha
Koirala). But her father (Vijaykumar) wants his
daughter's suitor to be a government civil worker. So after his
tenure as a one-day CM he starts preparing for the Indian Civil
Service Examination when his earlier secretary comes in and tells
him that Pugazh's popularity has rocketed sky-high and people want
him to become the next CM of the state. He refuses but then
Aranganathan's henchman attacks the Q TV news agency. Mayakrishnan
then tells Pugazh that he has become a part of politics and
Aranganathan will never leave him at peace and Pugazh's lawsuit
against Aranganathan is bound to fail. But Thenmozhi's father
dissuades Pugazh from joining politics. However, on seeing the
people’s plight he agrees to stand in the elections.
In the ensuing state elections, he wins by full majority. But
Thenmozhi’s father angered by Pugazh's decision refuses to let his
daughter marry him. Here, Aranganathan’s political allies desert
him causing his defeat. On becoming the chief minister, Pugazhendhi
brings about lots of improvements and quickly becomes an idol in
the people’s eyes. However his growing popularity is threatened
continuously by Aranganathan who uses his henchmen to kill him or
at least tarnish is image as a public hero. But Pugazh promptly
answers by digging out all accusations against Aranganathan and his
allies. This, however, causes a reunion of Aranganathan and his
allies. After a failed attempt on Pugazh's life by hiring an
assassin, a bomb is detonated at his home killing his parents.
In the final attempt Aranganathan orders his P.A. to destroy law
and order and cause bomb explosions in various parts of the city.
But a priest is able to overhear a few men planning to detonate
bombs. He immediately notifies Pugazh's office via the "Complaint
Box" department. Aranganathan's P.A. is arrested and under tactical
inquiry by Pugazh and his secretary, he discloses the location of
the bombs. A Bomb Squad successfully defuses all the bombs.
Aranganathan , however, uses this success against Pugazh by blaming
the young CM for the bomb. Seeing no way out, Pugazh summons
Aranganathan to the secretariat and creates a situation such that
it would seem as if Aranganathan was there to shoot Pugazh but
failed. The security guards shoot down Aranganathan killing him.
Pugazh, secretly tells Mayakrishnan the truth but Mayakrishnan
believes that Aranganathan deserved it. Thenmozhi's father also
comes to realize that Pugazh is in fact a great man who sees duty
before everything else and allows Thenmozhi to marry him.
The final scene shows Tamil Nadu developing over the years under
Pugazhendhi's Government.
My Review : An excellent Bollywood movies. Just not
too long ago, there was a report about criminals and gangsters
running for politics in India. This movies reflects the desire of
the people that a hero will arise one day to rid them of such
corruptions. Like all Bollywood movies, the hero fighting sequences
will put Rambo to shame.
