The 2002 Tamil film Ramanaa, directed by A. R. Murugadoss, has become a favorite among fans of action and vigilante themes. With Vijayakanth in the lead role, joined by Ashima Bhalla and a cameo by Simran, the story dives into the life of a professor turned activist who forms an Anti-Corruption Force (ACF) to battle corruption in Tamil Nadu.
For those interested in experiencing this powerful film, Ramanaa is available for streaming on Sun NXT.
Ramanaa opens with a daring act: 15 tahsildars (government officials) are kidnapped by a vigilante group, led by Dr. M. Ramanaa, a professor with a haunting past. Driven by personal tragedy, Ramanaa uncovers deep-rooted corruption in society after his family is lost due to substandard construction practices by a powerful contractor, Bhadrinarayanan. He takes justice into his own hands, gathering former students who are now government employees, to target and expose corrupt officials.
Ramanaa's journey for justice ends in a confrontation with Bhadrinarayanan, giving the antagonist a taste of his own ruthless methods. Ramanaa's mission comes at a personal cost. Once he reveals his identity to protect his students, he faces a death sentence. Despite public support for his release, Ramanaa accepts his fate, leaving behind a stirring final plea to the public to resist corruption.
The cast includes notable performances by Vijayakanth as M. Ramanaa, Vijayan as Bhadrinarayanan, and Yugi Sethu as Constable Saravanan, among others. The soundtrack by Ilaiyaraaja marks his unique collaboration with Murugadoss, adding to the film's emotional depth.
The film was widely praised and has an IMBD rating of 8.2/10. Ramanaa won the 2002 Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Film, while A. R. Murugadoss was honoured with the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Dialogue Writer.
