Thyagi

Martyr) is a 1982 Indian Tamil-language action film, directed by C. V. Rajendran and produced by G. Hanumantharao.

[2] IG Ganesh takes up the place of his doppelganger criminal and don, Kanwarlal to infiltrate their gang, collect evidence and bring them to book.

In the course of his work as Kanwarlal, he has to see the tortured death of his pregnant wife, and his sister being raped and murdered.

Seeing all his sacrifices go to waste, he loses his control and kills all involved with his own hands and stands as the culprit in the eyes of the law.

[6] Thiraignani of Kalki found the plot similar to Sangili which also starred Ganesan and directed by Rajendran but the director has shown variation in dealing the subject and praised Ganesan's acting in dual roles and concluded that it is obvious that the censor board has troubled the film more than cruel people torturing Ganesan in the film.
