Baashha

Story:

Baashha is a film released in 1995 in Tamil directed by Suresh Krishna.

Manikam is a humble auto-driver who lives in Madras with his mother Vijayalakshmi, brother Shiva, and sisters Geetha and Kavitha, and would go to any extent for their well-being. He gets Kavitha married to her boyfriend, who is from an affluent family. Shiva manages to become an S.I. On seeing Manikam’s photo, Dinakar, who interviewed Shiva, wants to meet Manikam. Manikam hesitatingly comes to meet Dinakar in his office, where Dinakar suspects Manikam’s identity. Geetha gets admission in a Medical college, but the chairman asks for her carnal company in return for a seat. Manikam interferes and tells the chairman something behind closed doors that Geetha cannot hear, after which the chairman unconditionally gives a seat to Geetha.

Meanwhile, Priya travels in Manikam’s auto frequently and develops a liking towards him seeing his good character. Priya discovers that her father is a smuggler and decides to maintain a distance from him. Priya proposes her love to Manikam but Manikam does not initially accept as he learns she is the daughter of Kesavan (with whom Manikam has a past history) but eventually does so. Indiran is a gangster who uses his henchmen to collect “commission” from all business owners. When Shiva beats two of Indiran’s henchmen who attacked a man for not being able to pay commission, Indiran tells Shiva that he runs that area and his laws apply.

Shiva and Indiran’s fight is stopped by Manikam, who requests Indiran to beat him and spare Shiva. Manikam is tied to a pole and severely beaten by Indiran, but bears it for the sake of his brother without retaliating. Later, Shiva again takes action against Indiran by submitting an arrest warrant which makes him furious again.

This time after his release from jail, Indiran kidnaps Geetha and tries to molest her in front of the public. To everyone’s surprise, Manikam hits back Indiran and his men, thereby saving his sister. The beating of Indiran and his henchmen is so severe that it shocks Shiva. He confronts Manikam about his activities in Bombay where he lived previously years ago, but Manikam does not respond and recollects his past.
