Alli Arjuna is 2002 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Saran and Pon Elango as assistant director.

The film stars Manoj Bharathiraja and Richa Pallod,[1] while Preetha Vijayakumar, Karan, Dhamu, Charle, Vinu Chakravarthy and Jai Ganesh play supporting roles.

The music was composed by A. R. Rahman with cinematography by A. Venkatesh and editing by Suresh Urs.

[2] Arivazhagan (Manoj Bharathiraja) is from Chennai and has grown up to be a good-for-nothing fellow because of the neglect and ill-treatment by the hands of his rich parents Anbu (Jai Ganesh) and Usha (Fathima Babu).

[3][4] Four songs are re-used from Rahman's earlier Hindi films: Pukar, Earth and One 2 Ka 4.

[citation needed] Sify wrote "The plot is very thin and director Sharan, is totally confused.

Thus, in Amarkalam, the Stockholm Syndrome, where the victim of a kidnapper begins to empathise with the abductor was used to good effect.

If in Amarkalam, you empathised with the rowdy Ajit and the vivacious heroine, played by Shalini, you don't feel for either Manoj or Richa.

This, coupled with an overdose of drama in the over-long climax, earn the film demerits at the box office".

Here too he gives an authentic touch to an old bungalow to make it look like an abandoned police station.
