Sarvadhikari (Tamil: சர்வாதிகாரி) (English title: Dictator) is a Tamil language musical film starring M. G. Ramachandran and Anjali Devi in the lead roles and M. N. Nambiar as the villain. The film was released in 1951. It established Nambiar as a major star. It was the 25th film for MGR. It ran more than 100 days in Chennai and major cities and maximum run at Trichy - 141 days.

An ambitious minister (Nambiar) with designs to topple the puppet king (Pulimoottai Ramaswami) finds the popularity of the commander-in-chief (Nagaiah) and his favourite soldier (MGR) a stumbling block. He sends a young woman (Anjali Devi) to seduce the soldier, but she falls in love with him. After several twists and turns, the evil minister is exposed and felled in an exciting duel with the hero. The commander is chosen as the first president of the kingdom, now a republic!
