Sivaji: The Boss (2007) on Netflix

Plot summary

Sivaji Arumugam, a software systems architect, comes back to India from the United States. He puts his savings into the Sivaji Foundation, a trust that will build hospitals and universities offering free care and education to the poor. Adiseshan, a billionaire with political ties, owns profit-making colleges and hospitals and sees the trust as a threat to his business, so he arranges official hurdles. Permits and licenses come only through bribes, and the sums grow until Sivaji mortgages his house and sells his car. He falls in love with Tamizhselvi, a saleswoman at a music shop, and her family's astrologer warns that marrying him will bring ruin and his death. Tamizhselvi tries to pull away, but Sivaji dismisses the prediction and persuades her.
