The film\'s music (score and
soundtrack) is composed by A. R. Rahman, and it was very well received
upon release. The choreography in the film was also viewed as a
highlight. This high-budget production won positive reviews and became a
blockbuster at the box office.
The film was remade in Hindi as The Gentleman in 1994 by Mahesh Bhatt starring Chiranjeevi.
A
story begins with a swashbuckling thief, also a master of disguise, who
not only targets jewellers but also government agencies is being
tracked down by Azhagar Nambi (Charan Raj), an efficient Police officer,
who takes things a bit too personal. The story cuts to Krishnamoorthy
alias Kicha (Arjun), a respected brahmin and runs a home-based pappadam
business.
Susheela (Madhoo), one of Kicha\'s many female
employees, who has a crush on Kicha is constantly devouring for his
attention. Adding to her woes, the arrival of her naughty and playful
cousin Sugandhi (Subhashri), adds a love triangle to the plot. Sugandhi
also forms a crush on Kicha, especially after being saved by him from
some molesting goons. But Kicha reveals to her that he has no such
feeling for her and wants her to find a suitable mate. Sugandhi steals
Kicha\'s ring as souvenir. An intermittent comedy track featuring Mani
and played by the famous comic duo Goundamani and Senthil respectively.
After
several unsuccessful attempts at nabbing the thief, a disgraced Azhagar
Nambi shaves his head and left with a ring mark on his face, after a
scuffle with the thief. On investigating he later realises that the mark
was formed by a ceremonial ring worn by Brahmin priests, but to his
vain finds that the specific design of this ring is uncommon to Brahmin
priests but rather resembles a mangalsutra. Both intrigued and
frustrated, Azhagar Nambi is forced by his parents into getting married
and by coincidence to Sugandhi, from whom he gets the particular ring he
was tracking and finds out that it belongs to Kicha.
In an
attempt to trap and arrest Kicha, Azhagar Nambi plots an attempt at
Kicha\'s house where they were invited for wedding diner, hosted by
Kicha, where he shoots Kicha, but the latter narrowly escapes with
bullet injury in his hand, along with Mani. They were followed by
Susheela to their hide out, where Susheela finds the duo, and fabercasts
Kicha for his false deed. Then, Kicha reveals his flashback about his
student life as a district level topper along with his best friend
Ramesh (Vineeth), and even then they both were denied their desired
Medical college seats due to bribery, leading to tragic death of his
mother (Manorama) and his best friend Ramesh (Vineeth). And since then,
he became a thief to build a college of his own, where he desires to
make education available to the deserved, with out any difference to
poor, rich, or any caste.
In order to fund the final stages
of the college building, Aware of the police trap, Kicha makes his final
attempt to success, during which he is arrested by Azhagar Nambi. The
climax of the movie is set in the courtroom, where Kicha demands the
Chief minister of the state should come to the court room, who was the
then educational minister who demanded the bribe from him.
