Jananam (English: Birth) is a South Indian Tamil film directed by Ramesh Selvan, who earlier directed Ulavuthurai with Vijayakanth. The film stars Arun Vijay and Priyanka Trivedi in lead roles. The film was launched in 2002 and got delayed and released in 2004.
Surya (Arun Kumar) is an angry young man who is a post-graduate looking for a job. His girlfriend is Sruthi (Priyanka Trivedi) who always tries to control his rage as he fights against injustice in society. He fights for a friend (Charly) who is a gold medalist but does not get a job as he is not able to get a loan from a bank as he does not have any collateral to pledge. Another gold medalist friend dies in an accident after running helter-skelter hunting for a job.
All this changes Surya’s life especially after he meets a well-known writer and intellectual, Udaya Murthy (Raghuvaran) who urges him along with others to start a movement against corruption and injustice in society.
They start an Unemployed Graduate Association which rubs the local politician and don Muthukaruppan (Asish Vidyarthi) the wrong way. The idealist Surya turns into a raging force after Murthy is shot dead by police and he is jailed.
In jail, he is brutally tortured by the police as he becomes a rallying point for the youth who are fighting unemployment.
