Karmegham is a 2002 Tamil drama film directed by S. P. Rajkumar. The film features Mammootty and Radha Ravi in lead roles. The film had musical score by Vidyasagar and was released in 2002.
Karmegham (Mammootty) returns to his village after serving in the army for long. He finds that the villagers still live the shackles of old customs and traditions. They work as slaves to a feudal landlord (Radha Ravi) who exploits them. Maheswari (Abhirami), a doctor, falls in love with Karmegham. Later through his mother (Manorama), Karmegham comes to know that Radha Ravi is his father and then it becomes a father-son conflict. Karmegham stood with the villagers and opposed his father and brother Shakthi. His sister, Mangai, loves a poor villager but Sakthi and his father are against her love. Sakthi kills her sister's lover, his sister goes mad and Karmegham calls the police. His brother escapes but the police shot him in an encounter. Karmegham gets married with Maheswari. His sister and mother die in a bomb blast planned by Karmegham's father. Karmegham kills his father to save at least his village.
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Vidyasagar. The soundtrack, released in 2002, features 6 tracks with lyrics written by P. Vijay, Yuga Bharathi, Arivumathi and Pazhani Bharathi.
The movie opened to positive critical reception
Sify wrote, "The film is a mass entertainer with good action, romance and songs and is shot at the beautiful locations of Gopichettipalayam."
Bizhat wrote, "Mammootty is there in every frame of the film and the role is tailor made for him. Abhirami is wasted and Manorama is ok. Radha Ravi as the villain father does his usual routine hamming. Vidayasagar has recycled his Dhill numbers. Since the film was made on a low budget, the sets and song sequences look tacky."
