Mambattiyan (2011)

In the rustic landscapes of western Tamil Nadu, a tyrannical landlord (Kota Srinivasa Rao) holds sway over a humble village. When the brave Mambattiyan's father (Vijayakumar) dares to challenge the landlord's unjust reign, he is ruthlessly murdered. Learning of this vile act, Mambattiyan (Prashanth) retaliates, eliminating the cruel landlord and his allies. Joining forces with the village youth, Mambattiyan retreats into the wilderness, living a Robin Hood-esque life, robbing the affluent to aid the impoverished, thus becoming a beacon of hope for the villagers. However, the village's tranquility is disrupted by the relentless pursuit of DIG Ranjith (Prakash Raj) who is determined to capture Mambattiyan, leading to a relentless game of cat and mouse. In the midst of this turmoil, romance blooms for Mambattiyan with the charming Kannathal (Meera Jasmine) and the fiery Sornam (Mumaith Khan). When Sornam signals for Mambattiyan with a green flag, an undercover officer catches on, resulting in a tragic domino effect that sees his gang members falling one by one. Mambattiyan, ever the protector, plans for Kannathal's escape to another country. However, betrayal lurks in the shadows as Bullet, a supposed ally, succumbs to the temptation of a bounty on Mambattiyan. As the tragic tale unfolds, the village mourns its fallen heroes, leaving even the relentless DIG Ranjith lamenting the loss. The final frames capture the poignant sight of Prakash Raj holding Mambattiyan's chain, a stark symbol of the village's lost savior.
