King (2002)

In the vibrant city of Hong Kong, Raja (Vikram), a business management student with a penchant for magic, lives a content life with his beloved single father, Shanmugam (Nassar). Their harmonious existence takes a tragic turn when they are involved in a car accident, leading to a dire need for blood transfusion. Unknowingly, an unanalyzed batch of blood infected with multiple sclerosis is used, throwing their lives into turmoil. Guided by the compassionate Dr. Cheenu, Raja decides to transport his father to their ancestral home in India, hoping to fill his remaining days with joy. Upon their arrival, Raja unravels the bitter past of Shanmugam, who was banished 25 years prior due to a love marriage. The reunion with the family is emotionally charged, with old wounds resurfacing and new bonds forming, especially when Raja meets his charming crush, Tamil (Sneha), the daughter of Shanmugam's old friend. As Raja navigates this complex family dynamic, he also grapples with a ticking clock, counting down the days of his father's life while trying to confess his love for Tamil. However, a shocking revelation unfolds - it is not Shanmugam, but Raja who is the victim of multiple sclerosis. The secret, orchestrated by Shanmugam and Dr. Cheenu, was an effort to find a cure for the incurable disease. As symptoms begin to manifest, Raja, through his ventriloquist skills, uncovers the truth during a revealing phone call with Dr. Cheenu. "King" (2002) is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and the lengths one would go to protect their loved ones, set against the vibrant backdrop of Hong Kong and the tranquil countryside of India. The film elegantly intertwines the threads of familial bonds, burgeoning romance, and the cruel inevitability of disease, leaving viewers enthralled until the very end.
