Guru Sishyan (1988)

In the shadowy lanes of an unjust world, two friends turned petty criminals, Raja (Rajinikanth) and Babu (Prabhu), find themselves entangled in a web of treachery and deceit. Their lives take a dramatic turn within the cold, unforgiving walls of a prison, where they meet the hapless Manohar (Pandiyan), a man wrongfully condemned to the gallows. Manohar, a hapless victim of a merciless system, spins his heartbreaking tale of tragedy. His sister was brutally violated by the ruthless Muthuraaj (Radha Ravi), a crime that was followed by a cold-blooded murder of a taxi driver, a silent witness to the atrocity. The plot thickens with the sinister involvement of Nallasivam (Vinu Chakravarthy), a police officer whose badge is tarnished with corruption. With Manohar framed for the murder, the scales of justice tip towards the guilty, leaving the innocent Manohar on death row. Buoyed by their belief in Manohar's innocence, Raja and Babu vow to unearth the truth hidden beneath layers of lies and deception. A fracture inflicted on Manohar's arm buys them time, as per law, delaying his execution until his recovery. Upon their release from prison, they embark on a dangerous journey seeking justice for their fellow prisoner. In their pursuit of truth, they find themselves unraveling secrets about their own missing parents, entwining their destinies with Manohar's in ways they had never imagined. Their quest becomes an elaborate and daring game of cat and mouse, a battle against time to convict the real killers before the noose tightens around the innocent Manohar. This thrilling saga of friendship, justice, and redemption, Guru Sishyan (1988), paints a vivid picture of two criminals, who, in their pursuit of justice, become unlikely heroes.
