Star

In 'Star', Murthy (played by Prashanth) finds himself in a challenging situation where he takes on the blame for others' mistakes, often landing in jail. The plot thickens when Dhanushkodi (Raghuvaran) seeks vengeance against ex-collector Ramanathan (Vijayakumar) by targeting his son, Santosh (Praveen Gandhi). To protect Santosh, Ramanathan hires Murthy to impersonate his son, hoping to divert Dhanushkodi's wrath.

As the story unfolds, Murthy's personal stakes rise, especially with his romantic connection to Preeti (Jyothika), who is related to Ramanathan. The film's climax reveals a tragic turn of events, culminating in Murthy taking the fall for a crime he didn't commit. This intricate plot, along with its exploration of loyalty and sacrifice, makes 'Star' a notable entry in the early 2000s Indian cinema.
