==Plot==
Karky ([[Pa. Vijay]]) is the son of Arokkyasami ([[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]]), who wants to win freedom of his people from the shipbuilding owner Rajanayagam ([[Suman (actor)|Suman]]) and his wife Sena ([[Namitha]]). Meera ([[Meera Jasmine]]) is Rajanayagam's sister. She is a very kindhearted woman who helps Karky. With Meera's help, Karky starts a war against Rajanayagam. Rajayanagam is not only cruel and stone-hearted, but also very cunning and a big fraud. He and his wife play a cunning game and cheat Karky. Karky's mother Valliammai ([[Khushbu]]) is initially reluctant to wage war against evil openly as she is afraid of bloodshed. She wanted all workers to live and not die. Rajanayagam crosses all the levels of cruelty. There is no way the situation can be handled peacefully, so Valliammai asks Karky to open a full-fledged war against evil. Then the final war starts between good and evil in which good wins over evil.

==Reception==
''Sify'' wrote "The film is made like an old fashioned steamy tear jerker where good triumphs over evil in the last reel. Characters and milieu look early 20th century, they speak loudly as though they are on a stage without mikes".<ref>[http://www.sify.com/movies/ilaignan-review-tamil-pclxOUbhagdaj.html Ilaignan Review] [[Sify.com]].</ref> ''Behindwoods'' wrote "Ilaingan is a movie that extols the virtues of communism; of workers demanding their rights and fighting for them. A good tight plot which seldom deviates, but is weighed down by a slightly plain graph of narration and a bit incomplete period recreation. It will be a good watch for those who enjoy strong-willed dramas."<ref>[http://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/ilaignan-movie-review.html Ilaignan Movie Review]. behindwoods.com.</ref> ''Nowrunning'' wrote "
Great effort has been taken to make the film with a ship of majestic proportions, but the story fails to impress. The plot is age old, something irrelevant in today's time."<ref>[http://www.nowrunning.com/movie/8229/tamil/ilaignan/2911/review.htm Ilaignan Review]. nowrunning.com.</ref>
