 After
the success of '7/G Rainbow Colony', Ravi Krishna has signed
a new film, 'Shukran'. Produced, scripted and directed by S A
Chandrasekharan, it has his son Vijay too appearing in a
guest role, which, of course, is the title role. Ravi Krishna
is paired with Natisha, the Mumbai girl who's already
appeared in many south Indian films, including the
Vikram-starrer 'Samurai', and a film with Kunal and Manoj.
This is her third Tamil film.
Sukran begins as a campus love story ends haywire with the
heroine being gang raped by a Judge, a Minister' son and a
police officer and eventually the hero taking revenge on them
for their heinous act.
As usual, Chandrasekhar points an accusing finger at the
corrupt judicial system and selfish police officers for the
evils of the society.
Ravi Shankar (Ravi Krishna) and Sandhya (Nadheesha), students
of a college in Dindigul, are love birds. When Sandhya's
mother and a village panchayat chief (Nalini) comes to know
of their affair, she puts spokes in their wheel. But the
caring father of Ravi Shankar (Nazar) sends them to Chennai.
For his act, Nazar gets bumped off by Nalini.Upon reaching
Chennai, a corrupt police officer (Sreeman) apprehends Ravi
Shankar on a complaint given by Nalini that he had murdered
his father when he put his foot down on their affair. Ravi is
put behind the bars.
Sandhya is persuaded to seek the help of a Judge (Rajan P
Dev) to get a bail for Ravi Shankar. When she reaches the
place, she gets gang raped by the police officer and the
judge, which they also videograph. After a series of events,
the couple decides to commit suicide. At this juncture, they
comes across Sukkran (Vijay ) who advices them to face all
troubles boldly.
Again the couple gets harassed by the police and Sandhya gets
arrested on (false) charges of prostitution. All efforts by
Ravi to get her out on bail is futile. An agitated Ravi
shoots the inspector, the judge and the Minister's son who
raped his girlfriend and escapes with her from the court.
Sukkran steps in and promises to save the couple. He appears
on behalf of Ravi and puts forward enough evidence to help
out Ravi. He also eventually kills the Minister (FEFSI
Vijayan) responsible for all wrong-doings.Ravi Krishna does
nothing but appear for a few numbers and goes behind
Nadheesha romancing. Even when she gets gang raped, Ravi
Krishna's amateurish performance fails to win over the
sympathy of the audience.
Vijay, who plays a criminal lawyer to bail out Ravi, is the
welcome relief in this movie. Vijay speaking lengthy and
punchline dialogues and his acrobatic stunt sequences are
aimed at his fans. Dialogues demeaning judges, college
professors and police officers could embarrass audience.
The director has accommodated two item numbers with Rambha
and Ragasiya.
