a a background and this be the first time and we have see mani rathnam write and direct a movie and that involve the conflict of terrorism and more of a global movie ( concern india ) rather than tamil nadu . when i first saw this movie and i be move in tear by the story and direction and music . this be by far the best directed movie i have see by mani rathnam ( even good than iruvar ) and mostly because the story flow so smoothly and the subtle detail that be present and especially when rishi kumar ( arvind swamy ) be kidnap . so to start of with the plot and the story revolve around rishi kumar and roja ( madhoo ) and who get marry in the beginning after many hurdle face by both of them . rishi kumar originally be suppose to marry roja sister and but after roja sister confess to rishi kumar and that she be in love with someone else and but can not marry him now and due conflict between their family . rishi and then take the blame for not marry her and by say he be in love with her young sister and roja . due to the fact and that rishi kumar be well educate and handsome and and hold a good job and they be unwilling to refuse to rishi kumar request and and roja end up marry rishi kumar and and her old sister marry the person she love . due to rishi kumar rejection of roja sister and she resent rishi kumar and until he tell her about why he choose to not marry her . after realize her sister be happy with her husband and she begin to fall in love with rishi kumar . due to the illness of rishi bos and rishi have to take a special project in kashmir and where he a a cytologist and have a special task of crack code from the enemy . due to the insistence of roja and rishi take roja with him and to kashmir . due to the high profile security around both rishi and his wife and the terrorist who be demand freedom for kashmir and use this a an opportunity and kidnap rishi kumar and and ask the government to release a terrorist leader and who have kill many and wasim khan . due to the nature of the situation and the government refuse to release wasim khan for rishi kumar . this lead roja and to plead with the police and the head of government and to do anything to free her husband . from the pleading of roja and the government finally allow wasim khan to be release and for rishi kumar and to the disappointment of head police chief ( nasser ) and who work hard to imprison wasim khan . finally in the end and when the exchange be suppose to take place between wasim khan and rishi kumar and the terrorist just give them clothes of rishi kumar and and wasim khan be immediately take back and since the terrorist do not keep up with their end of the deal . in the end and we realize that the terrorist couldn not hand over rishi kumar and since he escape and and rishi kumar face off with the head terrorist ( pankaj kapoor ) and who after many conversation with rishi kumar and change him a a person and and let him go . the film end with rishi kumar and madhoo and reuniting at the end . the greatness of this movie be the direction of mani rathnam and music by a. r. rahman . this be by far the best music produce by a. r. rahman and and from roja to slumdog millionaire and i would say his debut film and roja and be the best movie and he have make music for . the most moving moment in the movie and be scene after rishi kumar get kidnap . when pankaj kapoor and try to make him plead for release of wasim khan on a recorder and he refuse and say jai hind and every time he say it and he get beat by his guard and until finally they point the gun at him to shoot and and he continue to say jai hind and at which moment and wasim khan stop them from shoot him . another good moment from the movie and be the interaction between roja and the police chief ( nasser ) and where the police chief doesn not believe that wasim khan should be release for a normal citizen like rishi kumar and and he should risk his life for the country . to which roja and ask if he would say the same and if it be the son of the prime minister and or anyone relate to someone in power . also when roja and confronts wasim khan in jail and and ask him why he be try to kill someone who be innocent and for his personal gain . and further asks him why he doesn not just go to pakistan and if he do not like india and and stop kill innocent civilian like her husband . the best moment in the movie i believe be the moment and when one of the terrorist guard informs ( pankaj kapoor ) that they have refuse to release wasim khan and and for the bad news he take out the flag and and try to burn it . rishi kumar reacts to this by forcefully break the window and and jumping over the flag and to extinguish the fire . and he try to fight off the guard and and finally get restrain by them . the background music for this scene be well do and and the camera work and where one can not see the flag and until he burn it and be very well do by mani rathnam . overall the plot and direction and music and make this one of the fine tamil movie ever take . the acting by arvind swamy and madhoo be excellent . overall this be a great movie and especially if you enjoy patriotic movie and like border and kargil etc .
