Velaikkaran (1987)

In the heart of rural India, young Ragupathy, a role embodied by the iconic Rajnikanth, is raised with love and wisdom by his paternal grandfather, Valayapathy. Seeking a promising future for his grandson, Valayapathy urges Ragupathy to embark on a journey to the city, a sprawling landscape of opportunity and challenges. Upon arrival, Ragupathy crosses paths with Senthil, a city native who becomes his guide. With Senthil's assistance, Ragupathy lands an interview at a luxurious 5-star hotel, a soaring establishment owned by the charismatic Rajkumar. Within the hotel's opulent halls, Ragupathy encounters the enchanting Kowsalya, and a tender love story begins to blossom between them. However, a sinister plot lurks in the shadows - Rajkumar finds himself the target of deadly attempts on his life, orchestrated by his unscrupulous uncle and his conniving son, Nassar. As the plot thickens, the blame for the attacks is cunningly shifted to Rajkumar's mother, who unbeknownst to many, is Ragupathy's biological mother. In the face of these revelations, Ragupathy makes a solemn vow - to protect Rajkumar against all odds. As the attempts on Rajkumar's life escalate, will Ragupathy succeed in safeguarding his newfound family and love, or will the city's dark underbelly swallow him whole?
