The movie revolves around a small town in Tamil Nadu where youngsters fight due to small enmities. Benji is well known for his boxing but he didn’t reach his potential due to liquor and other drugs circulating in his community. As he didn’t fulfil his dream, he ensured that the upcoming youngsters had a platform to showcase their talents. For this, every year Benji organizes football competitions for the upcoming players.
Check the teaser of Fight Club below:
Moreover, he had two brothers, Joseph and Selva. Joseph wanted to start a business with Kiruba, a drug dealer from the other community. When Benji came to know about Kiruba, he thrashed his brother and cautioned him not to pair up with Kiruba. At that time, Selva was too young and wanted to be a good football player.
Aside from this, Kiruba has a guilty mentality and just wants Joseph to pay up the advance for the drug business. To pay advance money to Kiruba, Joseph stole his mother’s necklace. When Benji learned about this, he hammered both his brother and Kiruba. After this incident, Kiruba and Joseph intended revenge against Benji. This revenge ended with Benji’s murder. Kiruba was a cunning man; he even manipulated Joseph to take the blame and land in prison.
How did Joseph plan his revenge against Kiruba?
After this drastic incident, the story of Fight Club moves forward, where Selva has grown up and detached from football life. After serving his sentence, Joseph came back to his town, and things changed for him. Now Kiruba had become a powerful man and was in the race for politics. His right-hand man was his brother-in-law, Karthi. Joseph wanted to take revenge on Kiruba, as he made a false promise to get him out.
Joseph first tries to convince Selva that he didn’t kill his brother Benji, but because of Kiruba’s attack, Benji couldn’t survive. Selva didn’t realize the evil motives of Joseph. Joseph knows that he will not be able to crush Kiruba alone so he uses youth against him. He even knows that Kiruba wouldn’t think twice before killing him.
Selva and his buddies had already developed an enmity against the Karthi, as they were in rivalry after Selva liked a girl. Joseph intended to peddle drugs to Selva to take revenge on Kiruba. He used Selva and his friends to fight Kiruba.
Fight Club: Did Selva kill both Joseph and Kiruba?
With time, the fight between Selva and Karthi becomes intense. Karthi and his men wanted to teach Selva a lesson, but Kiruba stopped them from getting involved in minor fights because this would spoil his political image. Boundaries were divided between both gangs, and Selva and his friends didn’t allow Karthi’s fellows to enter the field.
The story took an unexpected turn when Selva and his gang engaged in a fight against Karthi and his men. This resulted in Robert’s brother dying in the hospital. Robert couldn’t bear this pain and Joseph realized that this was the perfect time to end Kiruba’s reign. Joseph supplied weapons to Robert to kill Kiruba but the plan backfired and Kiruba killed Robert.
Mani and Murthy told Selva about Robert’s death and how Joseph used Robert’s anger against Kiruba. Selva recognized the evil intentions of Joseph. He crossed all the boundaries in anger and killed both Kiruba and Joseph. He believed that Kiruba and Joseph were the main reasons that ruined the youngster’s life in the town.
In the end, Selva was sentenced to short-term imprisonment as he was a juvenile. He also got the defense of the mantle element of Benji’s death. After serving his sentence, Selva returned to his home. On the other hand, Karthi has taken the place of Kiruba after his death
