Salim is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film directed by N. V. Nirmal Kumar.

Karthik, alias Dr Mohammed Salim, is an honest doctor working in a private hospital in Chennai.

As their relationship progresses, Nisha learns that Salim has dedicated himself to his work, so much so that he fails to take care of her and spend time with her, thus creating a rift between them.

But, on the way, Salim sees a young girl, a gang rape victim, who is hurt and bleeding on the road.

The police discover Salim's identity and raid his home, where they find his wedding cards and learn about Nisha.

Later, Thavapunniyam receives a call from Guru telling him that Salim left him on the East Coast Road and escaped.

Thavapunniyam orders his men to bring Guru back and kill Salim, who has driven away and made it look like an automobile accident.

[2] Since the movie required Vijay Antony to perform some dare devil stunts, he understood the necessity and underwent rigorous training in Taekwondo for a period of two months.

The soundtrack album was released at Sathyam Cinemas, Chennai on 5 June 2014, with Bharathiraja, Bala, M. Raja, R. K. Selvamani and R. Parthiepan among others attending the event.

Baradwaj Rangan from The Hindu wrote, "The director, N. V. Nirmal Kumar, subscribes to a rather charming theory: things just happen.

[6] The Times of India gave 3 stars out of 5 and wrote, "Vijay Antony is definitely not an expressive actor but with Naan earlier and now Salim, he has managed to find roles where impassiveness is a trait of the character...The first half of Salim nicely sets up what's in store...It is only in the second half that things get somewhat cinematic".

[7] The New Indian Express wrote, Salim may not have the best of scripts, but with its racy pace and twists, it manages to keep one glued to the screen for the most part".

[9] Behindwoods in its review stated, "This is not the first time that Tamil Cinema witnesses such a plot, however the way Salim is treated, manages to keep the audiences engaged", calling it a "watchable average movie".

[10] Moviecrow stated, Salim is definitely a sound choice by Vijay Antony as a follow-up to Naan".
