Diwan (/ðɪwɑːn/) is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language action drama film starring R. Sarathkumar in dual roles, Kiran Rathod, Vadivelu and Sharmilee.

The film goes into a flashback, where Duraisingam is depicted as a do-gooder who helps poor people.

After the flashback, Raghavan visits the jail only to know that Duraisingam had died a few years back.

Kandhavel becomes furious after getting to know that his son Dinesh succumbed to the injuries caused by Raghavan during the fight to safeguard Aishwarya.

Raghavan fights them all but leaves Kandhavel, due to the promise that Duraisingam gave to his wife.

Aishwarya marries the groom selected by her parents, and Raghavan unites with Geetha.

A romantic scene and a song involving Sarathkumar and Kiran Rathod were shot at the Edward Elliot's Beach.

[7] Prabhu of Lollu Express criticised the film, comparing it to The Lion King.

[8] Mokkarasu of Kalki praised the flashback, Vadivelu's humour, stunts and choreography but panned Rathod, violence and antagonist and concluded saying they have tried a Baashha for Sarathkumar but it did not work out.

[10] Sify wrote, "You certainly need a brave heart to sit through this travesty that is tough on the nerves, with a hoary and hackneyed plot".
