Lyrics: Rajeev Aalumkal
Mukundan’s father died prematurely, leaving behind a lot of liabilities. The burden of looking after his mother and sisters falls on him. He takes over the bus service his father used to run and also starts a mechanical workshop.
To marry off his eldest sister, his father had borrowed some money from one Lazar Panackal who now starts threatening him. It is at this juncture that he learns that Bhaskaran Nair, his father’s partner in business, owed him Rs. 10 lakhs. He decides to get the money back from Bhaskaran Nair, but the latter is not willing to give it back.
Mukundan finds an unlikely ally in Bhaskaran’s daughter Aswathy, a journalist. In the mean time he happens to cross swords with Vedimara Zakir.
Rakshakan tells the story of a young man who has to fight against society and against the goonda mafia to protect his dear ones.
Kalabhavan Mani plays the lead role of Mukundan. Manya who makes a comeback to Malayalam after a long absence plays Aswathy.
Other films of Thulasidas include Poochakkaru Mani Kettum and Malappuram Haji Mahanaya Joji. Rakshakan, which is being produced under the banner of Swamy and Kala, is being shot in different parts of Kannur, and will be distributed by Liberty.
