Avan Ivan (2011)

In the rustic heart of a village thrives the sprightly Kumbudraen Saamy (Arya), a cunning swindler who thrives on deception. His half-brother, the cross-eyed Walter Vanangamudi (Vishal Krishna), with a knack for acting and an affinity for roadside dramas, is less adept at the family trade. The brothers share a tempestuous relationship, with Saamy delighting in ridiculing Walter's foibles. Despite the tumultuousness, they are bound by a common patriarch and the endearing regard they share for Highness (GM Kumar), a revered zamindar who, despite losing his wealth and title, remains a beacon of respect in the village. The brothers' lives are intertwined not only by familial ties but also by their peculiar romances. Walter, in his bumbling innocence, attempts to rob the home of Police Constable Baby (Janani Iyer) but ends up falling for her persuasive charm. Saamy, on the other hand, is enmeshed in a romantic entanglement with Thenmozhi (Madhu Shalini), who dupes him with counterfeit gold bangles. The village life takes a dramatic turn when renowned actor Surya visits for a fund-raising event. Walter's sincere performance, initially met with mockery, wins the crowd's admiration and Surya's endorsement. This unexpected turn of events triggers a change in Saamy's perception of his brother, leading to a heartwarming confession and the reunion of the two contentious brothers. However, the harmony is short-lived when Walter reveals Thenmozhi's connection to a long-standing nemesis of Highness. Saamy's love-laced dreams shatter, sparking a bitter confrontation with Highness, who retreats into alcohol-induced solitude. As Saamy leaves to fight for his love, Highness' old enemies resurface. A brutal local goon, R.K, notorious for smuggling cattle, is humiliated by Highness and swears vengeance, culminating in Highness' horrific demise. Grief-stricken and enraged, the brothers seek justice. Saamy faces a brutal defeat, but Walter, fueled by loss and rage, takes revenge into his own hands. The movie culminates in a poignant and bloody climax, painting an unforgettable picture of brotherhood, justice, and undying loyalty. As the credits roll, we see the brothers, drunk and triumphant, dancing and shouting into the distance, a testament to their unyielding bond.
