The hero Ranjith, who pays more interest than the loan amount he has taken, is threatened by the usury mafia for crores of money, and his family is put under house arrest and tortured in many ways to collect the loan. Ranjith tries various ways to deal with the loan problem, but nothing works. Meanwhile, a psycho killer who commits serial murders in Chennai escapes from the police and sneaks into Ranjith’s house without anyone knowing.
In this situation, the usury mafia’s troubles increase day by day, and Ranjith finally makes an attempt to get out of the problem. What is it? Did his problem get solved through that? Or not? , Who is the psycho lurking in his house? ‘Iruti Murugan’ tells the story in a way that touches the hearts of the victims and warns them of the consequences of taking loans to live without difficulties.
Ranjith, who plays the hero, has played the role of a family head who is losing peace and suffering due to debt problems. Although the scene of trying to repay the loan on one hand and feeling sorry for the family on the other hand is very sad, he easily conveys the pain and anguish of the victims to the audience through his acting.
Mehali Meenakshi, who plays Ranjith’s wife, is an apt choice for the role. She has realistically played the role of a wife who understands her husband’s situation and environment, and has added strength to her character with her measured speech and natural body language.
Vittal Rao, who plays the ruthless man Kanduvatti Dada, Pudhupettai Suresh, who plays his younger brother, Kathiravan, who plays the crime investigator, the little girl Mounika, who plays Ranjith’s daughter, and the boy Nilesh, who plays his son, have acted according to their characters.
Music composer Sunil Lasar’s songs reflect the story and the pain of the characters. The background music adds more sadness to the sadness in the screenplay.
Cinematographer Surya Kanthi has realistically depicted a simple story. He has depicted a house and the mental struggles of some of the characters within it in a very natural way, making the audience realize how dangerous the debt problem is.
Although it is a simple story, editor Vadivel Vimalraj has interestingly compiled the scenes by adding a sub-story to the main story to add strength to the screenplay.
Written and directed by Venkat Jana, he has tried to expose the background of the atrocities of usury taking place in various parts of the present times.
Based on true events, director Venkat Jana moves the story to a single house, and while inside that house, he captures the problems faced by the hero’s wife and the condition of the husband who is unable to do anything about it, leaving the audience in a state of shock.
Although the sad scenes and slow-moving screenplay make the film a bit sluggish, the director’s solution, combining the capitalist who is affected by usury and the communist militant who fights for the workers who are affected by capitalism, is commendable.
