Mitta Miraasu is a 2001 Tamil-language film directed by Kalanjiyam. The film stars Prabhu and Roja, while Napoleon, Alex, and Vadivelu play supporting roles. The music was composed by Aslam Mustafa, and the film released on 18 October 2001.
Plot[edit | edit source]
Chellaiya (Prabhu) has two missions in life. The first is to remove the taint on the family name and expose the man behind his family's misfortunes. The second is to make his younger sibling a lawyer so that it will help him in achieving the first mission. The villain of the piece is Chellaiya's uncle Masilamani (Alex), who had turned the villagers against Chellaiya's father Singaperumal (Napoleon). Humiliated by the same people who had revered him once, Singaperumal dies of shock soon after (a laborious death scene). A few decades have passed since the incident, but Chellaiya seems nowhere near to fulfilling his mission, nor has Masilamani given up his wicked ways. In fact, Masilamani is stronger now, what with his two sons grown up and matching their father step-to-step in his villainy. The trio has no redeeming qualities. Many clichéd scenes later, Chellaiya fulfills his mission and redeems his family's reputation.
