En Rathathin Rathame (English: Oh, blood of my blood) is a Tamil science fiction action film. The film is the Tamil debut for actress Meenakshi Seshadri. Being a remake of the popular Bollywood film Mr. India (1987), it performed poorly at the box office.

A group of royal family people are very much disappointed by the amendment of democratic India where there no more kingdoms and kings shall exist. They follow 26 January as a black day as the democratic republic was formed against kingdoms. To get back the provinces and monarchy rule back to them, all take owe with Narendra Bhupathy a physically challenged King and his son Ilayaraja Bhupathy as their leaders. They support anti-social elements from foreign nations for getting weapons from them to create chaos in the country.

Natesan (K. Bhagyaraj) is a poor auto-rickshaw driver who takes care of orphan children at his home. He manages to feed and educate the children with the meagre amount he earns and does not accept any kind of help from anybody. Meenakshi is a press reporter for a magazine named 'Bakirangam' which has a very poor circulation. To improve its flow, the magazine's Editor (Janagaraj)) insists her to interview a rapist who is capable of describing a rape point by point. Meenakshi scares to do the assignment but accepts as she has no other go. Natesan visits 'Bakirangam' office to advertise for rental home and he is diverted to Meenakshi's cabin. Meenakshi misunderstands him to be the rapist and scares for whatever he looks and does and at once stage she shouts for help. Angried Natesan explains who he is and why he has come and Meenakshi apologises for her misunderstanding. Meenakshi asks his home for rent but demands that no children to be present as it is big disturbance for her work in the house where she is staying. Natesan lies to her that no children is present in the house as he needs a tenant immediately for the rent due to his financial situation. Meenakshi visits the house and gets irritated on the mess inside the place but Natesan manages to grab advance amount from her. Meenakshi finds there are lot of children in the home and demands him the money she gave. But Natasen says since he did not give receipt for the amount she gave as advance, she cannot claim her money back and because of this she stays unwillingly in that house.

Meenakshi is irritated by the children and at one stage she punishes them for their mischief. She shouts at Natesan for the children's act and demands that no one should enter her room. All the children apologize to her for their acts which breaks her heart. She understands that it is the nature of children to be mischief and becomes their friend. She also understands how Natesan takes care of them despite his poor condition. Meanwhile, Natesan returns her advance amount by mortgaging his auto-rickshaw and asks her to vacate the house. But Meenakshi and the children manage to change his mind and let her stay. Except for the small fights both Natesan and Meenakshi are attracted towards each other.
