Kirumi (2015)

In the shadowy corners of a bustling city, Kathir, a young, ambitious man, treads the thin line between aspiration and desperation. Encumbered by a family, yet jobless, Kathir is a man in search of a purpose that mirrors his high standards. The weight of being the family's financial pillar rests on his wife Anitha's shoulders, an obligation she fulfills with grace and grit. In this intricate web of survival, enters Prabhakar, their friendly neighbour, assuming the role of a father figure for Kathir. Spotting potential in the aimless youth, Prabhakar secures for him a job as an informant for the local police inspector, a man whose integrity is as questionable as the city's darkest alleys. Embracing this newfound role, Kathir crafts a scheme of revenge against a brutal bar owner who had once tarnished his pride. Ignoring Prabhakar's words of caution, Kathir sets in motion a chain of events that lead to the bar owner's arrest for running an illicit gambling den. However, this victory is short-lived. Tragedy strikes when Prabhakar is brutally murdered by a gang of ruthless thugs, leaving Kathir alone and terrified, running for his life. The haunting suggestion that Prabhakar's demise was linked to his informant role sends Kathir spiralling into a vortex of paranoia. As Kathir's world crumbles, he uncovers a chilling reality. The police inspector he serves has allied with the very bar owner he had helped arrest, lured by the promise of money and power. Kathir, the sole witness to this grotesque corruption, becomes the next target. A game of cat and mouse ensues, Kathir narrowly escaping the jaws of death. In an unexpected twist, the inspector, moved by a flicker of remorse, spares Kathir's life under the condition of his silence about the clandestine operations swirling beneath the city's surface. In the end, Kathir finds redemption in modesty, settling for a humble job at his wife's garment factory. He learns to embrace an honest living, leaving behind a life laced with danger and deceit, thus bringing this gripping tale to a poignant close.
