Gun Point) is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by Dinesh Selvaraj and produced by S. Thanu under his production banner V.

[2] ACP Birla Bose IPS (Vikram Prabhu) is a straightforward cop and ruthless encounter specialist from the Mumbai Police Department.

Though he has an exceptional record of encounters and strives hard to keep the city crime-free, he gets into trouble with the human rights commission because of his ruthlessness in handling criminals.

Bose gets an order from his senior officer and travels to Rameshwaram to investigate the brutal rape and murder of a 15-year-old girl named Manjalnayaki (Ammu Abhirami).

Bose finds out that the local police has arrested a Bihari Maoist named Aazad (RJ Sha) in connection to the crime.

Bose finds that he is innocent and a former Naxal who had come to Tamilnadu to seek a reformed life and that the local police have framed him just to close the case.

However, with the mounting media, public attention and protests, it is not easy for the police department to release Aazad and find the actual perpetrators.

While the police department is still contemplating, Brahmaraja, who is in New Delhi, learns of the entire situation and wants to divert the attention back to Aazad so that Sachin will not be accused.
