The hero of the 96 movie is Ram, played by Vijay Sethupathi. He is a successful music director who is haunted by his past love, Janaki, played by Trisha. The movie revolves around their reunion after 22 years and explores their feelings and regrets.
The movie's plot focuses on Ram's journey of self-discovery and his attempt to reconnect with Janaki. He is portrayed as a complex character who is both successful and deeply flawed. Ram's journey is not only about finding love but also about confronting his past and seeking redemption.
While Janaki is also a central character in the movie, she is not the hero. Her role is more about being a catalyst for Ram's personal growth and transformation.
The movie's theme of second chances and the enduring power of love makes Ram a compelling protagonist who audiences can relate to.
