Sethupathi IPS

Sethupathi IPS (/seɪθupəθi/) is a 1994 Indian Tamil-language political action film written and directed by P. Vasu, produced by AVM Productions. The film stars Vijayakanth and Meena. It deals with the story of a police officer who fights against terrorism. Sethupathi IPS was released on 14 January 1994, during Pongal, and became one of Vijayakanth's most successful films of the decade. Terrorism against India is escalated heavily by Indians trained abroad. Sethupathi IPS is a cop whose entire family has served the country at some time — his mother Satyabhama is an IAS Officer, his maternal grandfather was a soldier who got a medal for killing 200 enemies (a medal which Sethupathi secretly covets), and his father in law is an Inspector General of Police. Sethupathi catches terrorist Sivasubramaniam in a hospital and coaxes him to reveal information that their gang is planning a terrorist strike on the Prime minister of India during his meeting with Chief Ministers of various states in Chennai. After divulging this information (owing to the kindness and pity shown by Sethupathi), the terrorist commits suicide with Sethupathi's gun. Using the information, Sethupathi is able to save the day and the Prime minister. Sivasubramaniam's death leads to his brother Sivaprakasham arriving in India.
