Kallazhagar (pronounced [kaɭɭːaɻaɡaɾ]) is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by Bharathi, starring Vijayakanth and Laila.

Nassar, Sonu Sood and Manivannan play other supporting roles, while Deva composed the score and soundtrack for the film.

In Alagar Kovil village, Andal, from a tender age, has been enamored with Lord Kallazhagar, inspired by the stories her grandmother shared about the deity.

When Mani's elephant runs amok, Kamalakannan skilfully calms the beast, showcasing his exceptional expertise as a mahout.

As the Alagarkovil festival commences, Kamaluddin and Peter intensify their search for the bomb, scouring nearby villages to prevent the impending disaster.

As Peter concludes that no evidence of a bomb blast plot exists, Gowri, Periya Bhattar's daughter, reveals that she saw a similar map in Narayana's possession.

He plants multiple waterproof bombs in water pots, disregarding the pleas of his accomplices, who fear the devastating consequences.

[4] Early reports had suggested that Hindi actor Dilip Kumar would also be a part of the cast, but he eventually did not feature.

[6] A few scenes from the film were shot at the Kallazhagar temple in Madurai, but crowd trouble meant that the makers chose to finish the shoot in sets.

[10] The film was initially scheduled to release on 14 January 1999 coinciding with the festival of Pongal, but became delayed due to problems at the censor board.

[11] D. S. Ramanujam of The Hindu wrote, "Tackling the ticklish question of the growing bomb culture and terrorist activities involving a particular community, is like walking on the mine field", adding that the director "denounces such a `culture' in clear-cut terms" in the film, "though the solutions he and the author of the story, offer are weak and highly cinematic in content".
