Jilla (2014)

In the heart of Madurai, a city pulsating with power and conflict, resides Sivan (Mohanlal), a deeply revered don who commands a notorious gang, and his adopted son Shakthi (Vijay). Sivan, a formidable figure of authority, takes Shakthi under his wing after his own driver and Shakthi’s father, is slain in an altercation involving a rowdy cop and hidden enemies. This tragedy sows the seeds of a seething hatred in Shakthi towards the Police uniform and any semblance of Khaki clothing, a symbol of the forces that stole his father from him. Shakthi, under Sivan's tutelage, matures into an unstoppable force in the underworld, his life a vortex of vengeance and power. However, a flicker of change sparks when he meets his eventual lover (Kajal). Shakthi initially despises her, but gradually, her inherent goodness pierces through his hardened exterior. This emotional transformation is further tested when Sivan expresses his desire for Shakthi to don the very uniform he abhors, an unexpected twist that shakes the foundation of their underworld empire. The harmony within their gang is shattered when ghosts from Sivan's crooked past return, forcing him to commit an unthinkable act. This unsettling event sends ripples through their lives, plunging Shakthi into a new battle, one where he must navigate his relationships, confront an unknown assailant, and grapple with the dichotomy of his existence. Jilla is an intricate tapestry of loyalty, revenge, and redemption, its threads woven together in a visceral climax, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats, absorbed in the unpredictable journey of Shakthi's life.
