Jigarthanda (2014)

In the riveting world of cinema, Karthik (Siddharth), a budding assistant director, faces a crushing setback when he's expelled from a reality show for new filmmakers due to his underwhelming short film. Despite this, one discerning judge (Aadukalam Naren) sees potential in him and offers to back him if he can craft a compelling script based on the gritty life of a real gangster. Gripping this lifeline, Karthik ventures to Madurai, setting his sights on the infamous rowdy, Assault Sethu (Bobby Simha). Teaming up with his trustworthy friend Oorni (Karunakaran), they dive into the underbelly of the gangster's world, piecing together a backdrop for their film. Assistance comes in an unexpected form - Kannama (Lakshmi Menon), the daughter of Sethu's idly-making confidante, becomes their unexpected ally. However, their pursuit of reality-based cinema takes a perilous turn when they find themselves entangled in the complex tapestry of Sethu's life. Karthik, in his quest for authenticity, inadvertently stirs up a hornet's nest, leading to a maelstrom of chaos and danger when a mole within Sethu's gang is unearthed. 'Jigarthanda' is a thrilling exploration of the thin line between reel and real, painting a vivid picture of a filmmaker's audacious journey into the heart of darkness, only to find himself ensnared in the very world he sought to depict. As the plot thickens, viewers are left on the edge of their seats, wondering if Karthik can survive the dangerous world he has so daringly infiltrated.
