Rajinikanth plays the role of Maanik Badsha wherein he rules the city of Mumbai and opposes the villain Antony(Mark Antony - Raghuvaran) for all his ill acts towards the innocent public and the cruel murder of his best friend Badsha.
Once Raghuvaran gets arrested for charges - Maanik Badsha changes his name back to Maanickam(his original name in the movie) and tries to lead a normal life back in Chennai as a Auto driver. But at times it is required for him to reveal his identity to face the local dhaadhaas and he does that with class. For instance - His sis goes to college administration office for getting seat to study medicals and the administration office guy(some big shot), asks her to come to his guest house for sexual favour in return of the college seat allocation. Sis returns to Rajini and informs about him about the incident and cries, the scenes following the same wherein he visits the admin guy and reveals his past still brings in nerve chilling effect when thought of. Such is the impact Rajini has on our thoughts and imagination too...:). So goes the film but his own brother who becomes Police officer tries to unviel Badsha's identity and following that Antony in jail comes to know Badsha is alive and so when he gets released he again tries to take revenge on Rajini and gets defeated and killed in the final battle.
Nagma plays the heroin role as a rich mans daughter. Her dad was related to Antony in the past and was behind the assacination of Antony's family members. Thus the story is well knit together.
The dialogue 'Naan Oru Mura Sonna Nooru Mura Sonna Madhiri' became one of the best punch dialogues of Rajini and even in 2010 a child born 5 years back will utter the same with pride and craze. I personally watched this movie more than 10 times and each time I watched it, it was full of energy, style and RAJINI. We love him. Yes we people are crazy about Rajini and least bothered what others think about us. When he's on-screen we forget ourselves off-screen, thats RAJINI. Wish Him Good Luck for his currently running movie Enthiran which is creating records in the history of Indian films and wish him good luck for his personal life too.
