Protector of the Palace) is a 1994 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by Selva Vinayagam and produced by Lakshmi Movie Makers.

In fact, Karpagavalli and her three relatives, one of who is Uma, are held prisoners by the heartless Duraipandi in his palace.

In the meantime, the police officers force the Tamil community to leave their place, but they refuse.

So the police officers kidnap and rape the young girls under the influence of the ruthless Amara Settu.

[4] Malini Mannath of The Indian Express gave the film a positive review and said "a fairly engrossing entertainer, despite flaws, Aranmanai Kaavalan has an engaging screenplay, neat treatment and suspense that keeps the viewers on tenterhooks".

[5] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times called the film "slightly better than other average Sarath movies".

[6] Thulasi of Kalki panned the story as predictable, humour being unfunny and dismissed Deva's music as repetitive and concluded the review saying Sarathkumar seemer to be working by calculating one film a month; it was fine if it did not go wrong and make producers run away.
