Red (2002)

In the heart of Madurai, emerges a beacon of revolution, education, and development - Red, played by Ajith. He is a paradox in his own right, an orphan who has ascended to the heights of local don, yet retains a heart that bleeds gold. His day-to-day life oscillates between taking down the city's malefactors and championing for a cause - the right to education for children without the shackles of donations. Red's nurturing side extends further into providing care for fellow orphans, a reflection of his own harsh upbringing. Yet, every hero has his nemesis, and Red is no exception. He finds his in the form of Cheeni (Salim Ghouse), a formidable adversary who represents everything Red fights against. Amidst this turmoil, Red's heart is stolen by the enchanting Gayatri (Priya Gill), the daughter of his trusted confidante Narayanan (Manivannan). Unbeknownst to Gayatri, Red becomes her silent guardian angel, aiding her in secret, and eventually winning her heart. However, Gayatri wishes for a life for Red that is free from the shadows of violence. Parallel to this riveting tale, a reporter (Rajesh) for Ananda Vikatan finds his muse in Red's extraordinary life and starts serializing his story under the pseudonym 'Aadi'. The engrossing saga quickly captures the imagination of the readers, becoming an instant sensation. Meanwhile, Red's relentless pursuit of his noble cause stirs the hornet's nest, drawing the ire of local mafia who frame him for a murder he didn't commit. 'Red' weaves a vibrant tapestry of passion and reform, love and enmity, and a quest for justice, all set against the backdrop of a city's struggle between its past and future. It is a cinematic journey that explores the dichotomy of a man who is both a don and a savior, fighting for the future of the very city that shaped his past.
