Pazhani is a 2008 Indian Tamil action film directed by Perarasu, with Bharath in the lead role and Kajal Aggarwal makes her debut in Tamil language film playing the lead actress. The film, produced by director Shakthi Chidambaram under the banner Cinema paradise, had musical score by Srikanth Deva. The film was formally launched on 10 June 2007 and was released on 14 January 2008 which coincided with the Thai Pongal festival. It was later dubbed into Telugu as Bhargava and into Hindi as Shaktishali Shiva. It is also remade into Oriya as Gud boy (2012).[1]
Plot
The film opens and ends with jail sequences. In both scenes, Pazhanivel (Bharath), the hero, is seen behind bars. The happenings from his release and his re-entry to the jail make the whole film. Pazhanivel, who comes out of prison, puts his sister Karpagambal’s (Kushboo) life on track through his heroics, and goes back to the prison as a martyr.
Pazhanivel was put behind the bars when he was ten years old. He killed his father's "keep" who made his mother’s life a hell by exploiting her to cajole his ‘keep’. He went to jail and his father turned an aimless vagabond. The boy’s elder sister, who disowned him when he was sent to jail, grew up and got married to a businessman Jeevanandham (Biju Menon). Karpagambal is living in a fool’s paradise, believing the man, who is actually an antisocial element.
However, she need not worry about anything. Pazhanivel, who is now 25, has come out of jail. He gets a job in his sister’s house without revealing his identity, unearths the shady deals of his sister’s husband, reforms him, and puts his sister’s life on track. Meanwhile, he finds his lady love Deepti (Kajal Aggarwal).
