Pazhani is a 2008 Indian Tamil-language action drama film written and directed by Perarasu.

The film, produced by director Sakthi Chidambaram under the banner Cinema Paradise, had music by Srikanth Deva.

Pazhani launched on 10 August 2007 and was released on 14 January 2008 which coincided with the Thai Pongal festival.

Pazhani hides his identity from Karpagambal and reveals his name as Vellaiyan, as she has a hatred towards her brother from childhood.

A flashback is shown where Karpagambal and Pazhanivel's father, Meiyappan, had a concubine and Pazhani killed her at the age of 10.

[2] The song sequence featuring the love pair Bharath and Kajal, "Thiruvaroor Therae", was shot at Prasad Studios with various chariots.

[8] Revathi of Kalki praised the acting of Bharath and Kushboo, Vijay Milton's cinematography but felt flashback was not strong enough however called sudden turns for avoiding boredom.

[9] Malini Mannath of Chennai Online wrote "With an insipid script, scenes that have no logical continuity, sense or sensibility; confused narration, and the waste of talented actors, 'Pazhani' turns out to be a total fiasco".

Lengthy homilies in between fights and jigs that come in quick succession leave the audience bemused.
