Makkal En Pakkam (transl. People are on my side) is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by Karthik Raghunath. The film stars Sathyaraj, Rajesh, and Ambika. It is a remake of the 1986 Malayalam film Rajavinte Makan.[1] The film was blockbuster at box office and completed 150 days run in theaters.

Plot[edit]

Samraj and Rajmohan are good friends who become enemies due to a false theft accusation on Samraj. Rajmohan becomes a great political leader whereas Samraj becomes a great smuggler. With Rajmohan's political influence, Samraj smuggling business was affected. Radha, Rajmohan's girlfriend, works as a junior assistant for his friend who hands an important file to her. It contains details on Samraj's illegal business. Knowing this, Samraj tries to retrieve the file, only to get Radha in trouble. When Samraj realises that she is in trouble he tries to help and consecutively falls in love with her. Radha lets Samraj know that she has a child by Rajmohan and that affair was unofficial.

Police officials respond to the order of Rajmohan and try to arrest Samraj. He escapes most occasions and continues to be king of smugglers. Finally when Rajmohan attempts to revenge Samraj, Samraj close friends Michael and Ramesh get killed. Samraj becomes extremely ferocious and chases Rajmohan at his residence with firearms, kills plenty of his party men, but hesitates to kill Rajmohan as Radha intercepts.

This movie has two ends. One in which a police officer kills Samraj and another in which Radha kills Rajmohan after Samraj is dead. Both climaxes were well received by the audience.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

In the 1970s, M. G. Ramachandran was due to star in a film titled Makkal En Pakkam, but the project was dropped after he quit the film industry to enter politics.[4] In early 1987, producer K. Balaji launched a film with the same name starring Sathyaraj,[5] which was a remake of the Malayalam film Rajavinte Makan (1986),[6] itself inspired by Sidney Sheldon's novel Rage of Angels (1980).[7] Alex Mathew, who appeared as a student leader in the Malayalam film, reprised his role in the Tamil remake.[3] Sathyaraj said he accepted to act in the film because it was a remake of a successful film, and was guaranteed to do well.[8] Makkal En Pakkam, like a previous Sathyaraj film Palaivana Rojakkal (1986), was made with political overtones.[2][8]

Soundtrack[edit]

The music was composed by Chandrabose, with lyrics by Vairamuthu.[9]
