Ethir Kaatru is a 1990 Tamil thriller film directed by Muktha S. Sundar. The film features Karthik and Kanaka in lead roles. The film, produced by Muktha Srinivasan, had musical score by Ilaiyaraaja and was released on 7 December 1990. The film is based on the Malayalam film Artham, which is in turn based on a Tamil novel Ethir Kaatru written by Subha (writers).
Ram Narendran (Karthik), a rich orphan youth, decides to put an end to his life. Waiting in the railway track, he sees another man there who tries to jump on the railway track and Ram Narendran saves him. This person is Jana (Anand Babu), he lives with his parents (Ra. Sankaran and M. N. Rajam) and his little sister Geetha (Chithra).
He was a jobless youth and he got a job as a manager in a chit fund company with Madhavan's help (a family friend) and paid a big amount to join the company. Later, the company ripped off his clients : Madhavan cheated him. The clients threatened the innocent Jana and they put pressure on him to pay back them. Angry, Jana killed Madhavan, so he decided to commit suicide.
Ram Narendran decides to surrender instead of him and goes to the jail happily. Jana has guilty conscience and he appoints S. Chandrasekaran (V. K. Ramasamy), a lawyer, to bail Narendran. However, Narendran would rather sacrifice his life without goals than Jana's life.
Jana meets Devaraj (Anandaraj), the chit fund company's head, and his partners : Maasi (Livingston), a politician's cousin, and a police officer's son (Crazy Venkatesh). Jana challenges Devaraj to punish them. The next day, Jana's dead body is found in a railway track.
