Renigunta 2009

In Madurai, a young boy Sakthi Johnny Chakravarthy grows up in a loving, ordinary family until a brutal act by an anti-social shatters his world. After his parents are murdered, Sakthi is arrested and sent to prison, where he endures brutal beatings from the guards.

In jail, he forges an unlikely bond with four hardened young criminals: Pandurangan alias Pandu Nishanth Russo, Prem Kumar alias Dabba Theepetti Ganesan, Mari Tamizh, and Michael Sandeep. When their prison breaks happen, they become his allies in a violent plan for revenge. They flee by train toward Mumbai with dreams of becoming feared gangsters, only to have fate lead them instead to Renigunta in Tirupati. There they cross paths with Bunker, a mediator who introduces them to Sardar, a powerful don who treats them with unexpected seriousness after a bold murder.

Across the street from their trials, Sakthi encounters a mute girl Sanusha Santhosh in the neighborhood, and a tender romance begins, complicated by the girl’s protective uncle who wants to push her into flesh trade. Moved by their plight, Sakthi and his friends vow to help the couple elope, but only after they complete one last murder for Sardar.

The plan unravels when the crime goes awry: Pandu is killed at the scene, leaving Sakthi and Mari to confront the blame that falls on Sardar and Bunker. A brutal fight follows; Mari dies and Sakthi turns his fury on Sardar and Bunker, killing them both. Grief and guilt push him to reunite with Dabba and Michael, but now they are hunted by the police, forcing them to sprint toward a desperate escape.

Sakthi sends a message to his girlfriend, asking her to meet him at a train station so they can elope. But fate catches up as police close in. Michael and Dabba are killed in the pursuit, and Sakthi narrowly escapes, clinging to a moving train. He gazes out as the world flashes by, believing he has escaped his fate, only to be brought down at the next station by Police Inspector Radha Krishnan Nandha Saravanan, who fatally shoots him. The film ends on a haunting note: the mute girl waits at a railway station down the line.
