Subash (film)

Subash (Arjun), a good-for-nothing youth, enjoys his life as much as possible. His brother Rajasekhar (Siddique) is a minister, and his father (Jaishankar) is a court judge. Later, Subash falls in love with Savitri (Revathi), a middle class Brahmin girl. Savitri loves him but wants to marry an intrepid man, so Subash joins the army and becomes a military officer. Upon his return from the military camp, his family reveals that Savitri and her father died in an accident. Arumugasamy (Prakash Raj), an honest politician thought being Rajasekhar's opposition party but is actually his best friend, dies mysteriously. Subash suspects Thangamani (Manivannan), Arumugasamy's right hand, for Arumugasamy's death. Thereafter, Subash finds Savitri in Thangamani's house and saves her. Savitri discloses that Rajasekhar is a corrupt politician and maintains contact with terrorist groups. Rajasekhar's henchmen then killed Arumugasamy, and Thangamani began to sequester her. A heartbroken Subash swears to punish his brother and save his country from the terrorists.

The film was initially titled August 15th and was engaged in a long battle during production with another film to secure the title, but eventually had to settle for Subash. Furthermore, during the making of the film, Karthik Raja was dropped and replaced by Vidyasagar.[3] This film was actress Silk Smitha's last film, as she died 3 days after the release of this film.

The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Vidyasagar. The soundtrack, released in 1996, features 6 tracks.[4][5]
