Theeran Adhigaaram Ondru or simply Theeran (Template:Lang-en) is an Indian action crime thriller film written and directed by Sathuranga Vettai fame Vinoth and produced by S.R. Prakashbabu and S. R. Prabhu of Dream Warrior Pictures. The story is based on true events operation Bawaria Case. Karthi and Rakul Preet Singh play the lead roles in this movie. This is also being dubbed into Telugu as Khakee - The Power of Police. The movie was released on 17 November 2017.

Plot

The film begins with a scene from a police station where the police officer in charge orders that the documented criminal cases in the form of manuscripts be converted into digital format. During this process, he comes across a really spine chilling dacoity murder case from several years ago. After reading the case history, he calls up the police officer who had taken charge of the case, a former DCP (Deputy Commissioner Of Police), Theeran Thirumaran (Karthi). The story shifts to the year of 1995, where Theeran is in his police training college, undergoing training to be posted as DSP from TNPSC (Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission) exams. He tops the training period. Simultaneously, in a house along the highway of Tamil Nadu, a group of dacoits wreck the house by barging in, killing all the people inside gruesomely, and taking the belongings.

Meanwhile, Theeran returns to his hometown of Tanjavur, falls in love with his new neighbour Priya (Rakul Preet Singh), and marries her. Later, Theeran becomes known in the police department for his ways of handling various cases and he is later moved to Ponneri after a coital attack. Police Inspector Satya (Bose Venkat) and Theeran both handle the case, but lead nowhere with the case. Therefore, Theeran sends Sathya and a group of other police officers around India to see if they are able to identify the fingerprints of the dacoits. During this process, Theeran learns that these dacoits are actually tribe members of the left over cultural groups after the Indian Independence. They are eventually stopped by the carelessness of their superior officers and the case is put on hold.

Later, in 2003, the dacoits raid the house of the ruling party's MLA and kill him. The government is under heavy pressure from the public and the Home Minister gives Theeran, who is now currently a DCP, all powers and a full team to nab the dacoits. A year later, they find one fingerprint match in Uttar Pradesh prison and go to a lorry station to capture the dacoit. Learning that the lorry has left and it is heading to Ponneri, Theeran and the other officers rush to stop them. This time, the dacoits raid Sathya's house, killing his wife, and eventually injuring Priya, putting her in a coma.

Angered by this incident, Theeran with the help of higher officials puts together a team to capture the gang of dacoits lead by Oma (Abhimanyu Singh). They camp in Rajasthan with the help of a local police officer. They come to know that the gang members except Oma are in their village, so they visit the village, only to be sent out by the villagers. While the case is going on, Theeran learns that Priya has gone into a critical state and an operation is required. This fuels Theeran's anger, which makes him even more motivated to find Oma. The team learns that there is a way to bring Oma out from his village. So, he captures the contractor of the gang and captures one of the gang members and puts them in police custody. Infuriated, Oma vows to kill Theeran and his team. Theeran gets information that Oma will be on a train which is infiltrated by the team, but Oma escapes to a nearby village. Theeran and his team walk to the village and reside there for the night. Oma's gang infiltrate the village, destroying it and killing Theeran's teammates. Finally, Theeran captures Oma, brings him to Tamil Nadu, and gets him a death sentence.

Now in 2017, it is revealed that Theeran has a boring, useless post in the Traffic Vigilance department, because he is straightforward and lives alone after the death of Priya. Theeran is visited by Sathya, his daughter and the police officer who had called him in the beginning of the film. The police officer salutes him and the movie ends with a note conveying "The film is dedicated to all the people in the police department who fought and arrested those dacoits and we thank them for their bravery and courage". The note also states that "The officers involved in this case were not recognized by the government by providing any honorary awards neither were they promoted to higher posts".

Historical accuracy

The film deals with the depiction of one of the meticulously planned operations of the Tamil Nadu police that led to the gunning down of two members of the deadly Bawariya criminal tribes in Uttar Pradesh and arrest of others more than a decade ago. The operation against the criminals was launched in January 2005 soon after the murder of AIADMK MLA Sudarsanam (Gummidipoondi). When armed dacoits struck affluent houses along National Highways in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh, the then Chief Minister Jayalalithaa ordered intensive action against the culprits. A special team led by the then Inspector-General of Police (North Zone) S. R. Jangid worked in closed coordination with the Uttar Pradesh police and Central intelligence agencies to track down Oma Bawaria, Bsura Bawaria, Vijay Bawaria and others. The dacoits were also responsible for the murder of Congress leader Thalamuthu Natarajan in Salem and DMK leader Gajendran among others. The teams worked for several weeks putting together bits and pieces of information and camped in remote locations in Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab before killing Bsura Bawaria and Vijay Bawaria in an encounter. The prime suspects Oma Bawaria and K Lakshman alias Ashok Bawaria were arrested and brought to Tamil Nadu where a special court awarded them death penalty. The movie makers worked closely with Mr. Jangid, a recipient of the President’s Police Medal for Gallantry, who is presently elevated to the rank of Director-General of Police, and other officers involved in the operation.[1]
