Aravindhan is a 1997 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by newcomer T. Nagarajan and produced by T. Siva.

The corrupt politicians want to avoid this uprising and hire a gunman to shoot Aravindhan.

During a stage speaking with many people around, the gunman shoots and kills Aravindhan, thus precluding him from becoming minister.

Some of the scenes (including the song "Poovattam") were shot at Neyveli Coal Mining and at NLC.
