Parasuram is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language action film written and directed by Arjun. It stars himself, Abbas, Goundamani, Kiran Rathod, Gayathri Raguram, and Rahul Dev in lead roles. The music was composed by A. R. Rahman.

Plot

The case is entrusted to Assistant Police Commissioner Parasuram ( Arjun), a patriotic officer tough as a nail. His love is Anjali ( Kiran Rathod), who has nothing much to do in the narrative. The bad guy is Akash ( Rahul Dev), who sends misguided youths to Pakistan for training and brings them back to subvert our peaceful state. Akash's identity is a secret, while Shiva ( Abbas) pops in as Naghulan's (Shyam Ganesh) brother and gives a speech against terrorism. Meena ( Gayathri Raguram) is a petty thief who has a soft corner on our macho officer. The rest of the story is all about how Parasuram nails the bad guys with excessive blood spewing.
