Mudhalvan (1999) is a Tamil film directed by Shankar. The film stars Argun, Manisha and Sushmita Sen. The film's score and soundtrack are composed by A.R. Rahman.
Plot
The story focuses on Pughazhendi, played by Arjun. He happens to be an ambitious TV journalist, working for “Q TV” . He eyes Thenmozhi (Manisha) through his roving camera, while on assignment in a village. He instantly falls in love with her, and embarks on a voyeuristic journey, making full use of the media resources at his hand.
He also interviews the present Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (Raghuvaran playing himself again, only he looks older). Pughazh asks the tough questions, and the C.M. starts trembling like George Bush playing 20 Questions. Unlike Bush, however, Raghuvaran is smart enough to ask Arjun to put his money where his mike is, and play king for a day.
After using up a few lifelines mentally, Arjun comes up with his final answer – he agrees. So “Gentleman” Arjun is now “First Gentleman” Arjun. He does such a great job on his first day, that the voters eventually elect him to be their permanent leader. Of course, all of this does not occur without any repercussions. Nepali’s ex First Daughter’s fictional father does not want her to be T.N’s First Lady. There is also the ubiquitous Opposition, which opposes Arjun at every possible turn.
