Jigarthanda Double X Movie Story

In 1973, DSP Rathna Kumar is given the task of catching an elephant poacher, Shettani, in Kombai Kaanai forest. The police are tormented with questions regarding Shettani’s whereabouts, even though local tribal people themselves are victims of Shettani.

In Madras, Kirubakaran “Kirvan” is selected as an SI of the Tamil Nadu Police. He visits his fiancée Lourdes’ college to share the news and witness her performance at an event. Later, Lourdes convinces Kirvan to intervene in a brawl between students nearby. Some time later, Kirvan appears to kill four of the students, but he apparently hates blood as he faints at the sight of blood. Shockingly, he is found with the murder weapon in his hand and is subsequently sentenced to prison.

In 1975, the incumbent Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (CM), Sindhanai Rani, recently announced that he will enter national politics within a few months, necessitating the election of a new Chief Minister. Ratna’s elder brother Jeyakodi is a well-known film star and an aspiring politician in the ruling SMDK party who hopes to become the next Chief Minister. Jeyakodi is dismayed that screenings of his films in Coimbatore, Ramnad, Madurai and Tirunelveli have been cancelled by supporters of his rival and Finance Minister Karumegam. Karumegam, the front-runner for the next Chief Minister, has the backing of four gangs across Tamil Nadu and is pushing young actor Chinna to succeed Jeyako. Jeyakodi asks Rathna to kill the four gangsters who support Karumegam, which will reduce Karumegam’s influence within the party. Rathna names Kirvan and three other ex-police officers and offers them full amnesty and immediate recruitment into the police force in exchange for the clandestine murders.
