Kooran is a 2025 Indian Tamil-language legal drama film directed by Nithin Vemupati and co-written along with S. A. Chandrasekhar, starring himself, Y. G. Mahendran, Balaji Sakthivel in the lead roles, alongside Sathyan, George Maryan, Saravana Subbiah, Indraja Shankar, Madhankumar Dhakshinamoorthy, Kavitha Barathi and others in supporting roles.
Kooran released in theatres on 28 February 2025.
The movie begins with a tragic hit-and-run accident in which a puppy is killed. The mother dog, distraught and seeking justice, tries to get help. She ends up drawing the attention of Dharmaraj, a once-famous lawyer who is more or less retired or out of the spotlight. Dharmaraj learns that the person responsible for the hit-and-run is Ranjith Raja, the son of a powerful businessman named Sekhar Raja. Despite the challenges—legal, ethical, and societal—Dharmaraj takes on the case on behalf of the dog to seek justice. The story explores how a dog’s grief and loyalty, combined with the law, can challenge powerful interests.
