Garjanai (transl. Roar) is a 1981 Indian Tamil-language film directed by C. V. Rajendran starring Rajinikanth and Madhavi . Music was scored by Ilaiyaraaja. The film was simultaneously shot in Malayalam as Garjanam and in Kannada as Garjane.

Plot[edit | edit source]

This is about the Tamil version only.

Dr. Vijay (Rajinikanth) is an honest doctor who faces off against a dangerous, diabolical gang led by Mithra (M. N. Nambiar) and Parasuram (Jaishankar) that contaminates common food items with lethal substances and then makes profits by supplying antidotes. Geetha (Madhavi) is Vijay's love interest, while Rekha (Geetha) is his sister.
