The flag is fluttering) is a 1988 Indian Tamil-language action film, directed by Bharathiraja.

A mafia leader tries to kill a policeman, Sivagiri, who took down his illegal businesses, with the help of a lookalike.

Following the financial failure of some of his "award winning" films, Bharathiraja said he was forced to make the more populist Kodi Parakkuthu to compensate his losses.

[1] Manivannan portrayed the film's antagonist, and his voice was dubbed by Bharathiraja.

[7] N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express wrote, "Kodi Parakkudhu is a flag that flutters in full flow, its not a half-mast performance and there's no question of Bharathiraja having surrendered creativity at the altar of starry caprice".
