Aathi is a 2006 Tamil action film starring Vijay and Trisha in the lead roles. It is a remake of the Telugu film Athanokkade. This film was directed by Ramana and was produced by S.A.Chandrasekar. The movie received mixed to positive reviews but was declared an average grosser at the box office. It was also dubbed in Telugu as Neneraa Aadhi and in Hindi as Adi Narayan.

The opening scene shows Anjali (Trisha Krishnan) sitting on a bench feeding a white pigeon by a calm ocean, and a retd. police officer Shankar (Devan) coming and sitting by her side and exchanging pleasantries, and suddenly she whips out a knife and kills him with the help of her maternal uncle Ramachandran (Nassar) saying that she has been waiting for this moment for many years.

After that, the scene shifts to Aadhi (Vijay) who lives with his foster & loving parents (Manivannan and Seetha) and sister in New Delhi. He takes up a course in a Chennai college against his parents' wishes, while he is actually on mission to eliminate the people behind the murder of his blood family. Unable to be separated from Aadhi, his foster parents and their daughter come to Chennai along with him.

It is revealed that Anjali is studying in the same college as Aadhi and she also has her own agenda to seek revenge on her family's killers, and she is assisted by Ramachandran. Now the villain RDX(Sai Kumar), a local gangster enters and is shown to have a dispute with another person Pattabhi (Rajan P. Dev). To exact their revenge Anjali's uncle attempts to kill one of RDX's henchmen Sada but fails to do so since Aadhi kills him. Naturally RDX assumes that the killer can be none other than Pattabhi and so kills him. However Aadhi arrives on the scene and with help from Bullet (Vivek), threatens RDX telling that he was the one who killed Sada and that he will also kill Abdullah (Adithya Menon). As typical, Abdullah gets angry, and goes to kill Aadhi but fails, and Aadhi kills Abdullah while his foster parents are watching with horror. On being questioned Aadhi tells his story.
