Thaamirabharani is a 2007 Indian Tamil action-family drama film written and directed by Hari. The film stars Vishal, newcomer Muktha (Bhanu), Prabhu, Vijayakumar, Nadhiya and Nassar in lead roles. The score and soundtrack are composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja. It was released on 14 January 2007 during Thai Pongal along with Vijay's Pokkiri and Ajith's Aalwar, eventually becoming a commercial success at the box office, running for more than 100 days in theatres.

Thaamirabharani was later dubbed into Telugu and released as Bharani. The title is derived from the river of the same name, which flows through Thirunelveli and Thoothukudi, where the film is set.

The story is set in the backdrop of Thoothukudi. Saravana Perumal (Prabhu) is a rich businessman and Subbiah (Vijayakumar) and his daughter Sakunthaladevi (Nadiya) are his business rivals. Bharaniputhiran (Vishal) is the nephew of Saravana Perumal. Bhanumathi (Bhanu) is a college student who falls for Bharani and keeps following him. Bharani comes to know that Bhanu is the only daughter of Sakunthaladevi and suspects her behaviour and hence does not reciprocate love.

One day Bhanu goes to meet Bharani in an island and everyone gets arrested by the coastal guards mistaking for prostitution and later gets released by the local police as Bharani is highly influential. But a press reporter writes about this event as he has a vengeance against Sakunthaladevi. This angers Subbiah and he misunderstands that Saravana Perumal was the master brain behind trapping Bhanu in prostitution case. Subbiah and his son Velladurai (Nasser) plan to kill Saravanan but Saravanan escapes. Bharani gets angry knowing this and goes to kill Velladurai but he accidentally chops off Selvam’s (Akash) hand. Selvam is the younger brother of Velladurai and is kind hearted. Bharani feels bad about his action.
