RK Nagar is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language satirical comedy film directed by Saravana Rajan. The movie stars Sana Altaf, Premgi Amaren, and Karunakaran in lead roles. The film is produced by Venkat Prabhu under the banner of Black Ticket Company. The story of the film revolves around the RK Nagar constituency in Chennai, which has been left without a representative for over two years due to the death of the former MLA. In this backdrop, three individuals – a journalist, a social activist, and a local thug – try to win the by-election and become the next MLA of RK Nagar.

The film starts with the introduction of Jayalalithaa's famous RK Nagar by-election victory in 2015, and how it led to the downfall of her party. The story then moves two years forward, where the constituency is now in chaos due to the absence of a representative. The ruling party and opposition parties both try to secure their candidates, leading to multiple clashes and black marketing of election cards.

In the midst of all this, the film introduces the three main characters – Mansoor (Premji Amaren), a social worker who dreams of becoming a politician; Vishnu (Karunakaran), a local goon who wants to become the MLA for his own selfish motives; and a young journalist (Sana Altaf) who is passionate about her profession and seeks to uncover the truth.

As the three characters work towards winning the election, they face numerous obstacles and challenges, including threats from rival factions, corruption, and a rigged voting system. The film takes a humorous approach to these issues, highlighting the absurdity of the political system and the lengths people will go to in order to win an election.

The performances of the cast are excellent, with each actor bringing their unique energy and charisma to their respective roles. Premji Amaren as Mansoor stands out with his comic timing, while Karunakaran as Vishnu delivers a convincing portrayal of a local thug who believes in his own invincibility. Sana Altaf as the journalist provides a strong female voice in a male-dominated political landscape.

The film's soundtrack is also noteworthy, with catchy songs that add to the film's overall entertainment value. The cinematography captures the essence of Chennai and its political ecosystem, with vibrant colors and lively visuals that add to the film's storytelling.

Overall, RK Nagar is a fun, laugh-out-loud comedy that sheds light on the murky world of electoral politics in India. The film's satirical approach provides a fresh perspective on a serious issue, and the performances of the cast make it an enjoyable ride from start to finish. It's a must-watch for anyone who enjoys political satire and wants to see a witty take on the Indian electoral system.
