Natukku Oru Nallavan (transl. A good man for the country) is a 1991 Indian Tamil-language crime action film directed by V. Ravichandran. The film stars Rajinikanth, Juhi Chawla, Ravichandran, Anant Nag, and Khushbu in major roles. It was simultaneously made in Hindi, Kannada and Telugu under the title Shanti Kranti, featuring slightly different casts.[1][2] Hamsalekha composed the music for all versions.

Despite the release of a Telugu version, the film was later dubbed into Telugu under the title Police Bullet.[3] It was a failure in all the languages produced.[4][5][6][7]

Plot

The storyline of Nattukku Oru Nallavan centres around an orphanage that secretly operates as a front for an illegal organ trafficking ring, masterminded by a ruthless criminal named Daddy. When Jyothi, a courageous young woman, discovers the horrifying truth behind the orphanage, she is brutally murdered to keep the secret hidden. Subhash, her lover and an honest police officer, is devastated by her death and sets out to bring those responsible to justice, leading to a confrontation with the criminal underworld.
