Kodi Parakuthu is a 1988 Tamil language film directed by P. Bharathiraja and starring Rajinikanth, Janakaraj, and Amala Akkineni in the lead roles. The film also featured other noted actors like Sujatha, Manivannan, and Bhagya. The movie is set in a village where the people are living in poor conditions. The villagers' livelihoods depend on fishing, and the only source of water for the village is a pond. The village headman (Janakaraj) is corrupt, and he exploits the villagers by charging them exorbitant rates for fishing.

Rajini plays a fearless young man named Raju who is a skilled fisherman. He leads the villagers in a protest against the headman's exploitation, and this leads to a confrontation between Raju and the headman. Raju is beaten up by the headman's goons, and he is thrown into the river. However, he survives and is rescued by a woman named Mary (Amala).

Mary is a nun who is on her way to start a new missionary in another village. Raju accompanies her on her journey, and they develop a relationship. Meanwhile, the situation in the village deteriorates, and the villagers are forced to leave. The headman is not willing to let them go, and he sets up a blockade to prevent their departure.

Raju returns to the village with Mary to help the villagers. He is able to convince the headman to let the villagers leave, but the headman secretly plans to have them killed on their way out. Raju and Mary are able to save the villagers and bring them to safety.

The movie is a powerful commentary on corruption and the exploitation of the poor. The characters are well-developed, and the performances by the cast are outstanding. Rajinikanth delivers a memorable performance as the fearless and heroic Raju, and Amala's portrayal of Mary is equally impressive.

The film's soundtrack, composed by Ilaiyaraaja, is another highlight of the movie. The songs are beautifully written and provide a perfect accompaniment to the movie's themes.

Overall, Kodi Parakuthu is a must-watch for fans of Rajinikanth and Tamil cinema. Its message is still relevant today, and the movie remains a classic of Tamil cinema.
