Aathi () is a 2006 Indian Tamil language-language action film, directed by Ramana and produced by S. A. Chandrasekhar. Starring Vijay and Trisha, it is a remake of the 2005 Telugu movie Athanokkade.
Aathi released on 15 January 2006. It received mixed reviews, and declared average hit at box office.
After that, the scene shifts to Aathi, who lives in New Delhi with his family, consisting of his parents Mani and Lakshmi, who love him and his sister. He attends a course at a college in Chennai against his parents' wishes. Unable to be separated from Aathi, his family comes to Chennai with him.
It is revealed that Anjali is studying in the same college as Aathi, and she has an agenda to seek revenge on her family's killers, and Ramachandran assists her. Meanwhile, RDX, a local gangster, enters and is shown to have a dispute with Pattabhi. To exact their revenge, Ramachandran attempts to kill Sadha, one of RDX's henchmen but fails to do so since Aathi kills Sadha with a gun he was armed with. At first naturally, RDX assumes the killer can be none other than Pattabhi, so he kills him. However, Aathi arrives on the scene with help from Bullet, his college classmate who is a comical rowdy. Aathi threatens RDX saying that he was the one who killed Sadha and that he will also kill Abdullah. As typical and usual, Abdullah gets angry and goes to kill Aathi but fails, and Aathi beheads Abdullah, while his family witnesses this act with horror. Soon it is revealed that Aathi is their adopted son and he is there on a personal mission to eliminate the people behind the murder of his biological family. Aathi reveals his flashback to them.
Past: Aathi's biological father was an honest cop who arrested one of RDX's henchmen. It is revealed that Anjali and Aadhi are from the same family as Aathi's father is Anjali's maternal uncle. RDX visits Aathi's house and asks his grandfather to let his henchmen go. When Aathi's grandfather refuses, RDX threatens them, only to find knives being held at him by Aathi and his cousins. Aathi's father arrives and arrests RDX. Infuriated, he visits with some of his henchmen and Shankar. Together, they murder the whole extended family. Only Anjali, Ramachandran, and Aathi survived the blast that annihilated their family. After the house is blown up by RDX, Aadhi escapes and is taken in by a couple who later become his adopted parents.
Present: On finding out his past, Aathi's adoptive parents request him to come back to New Delhi, but he refuses. He then takes them to the railway station but is nearly ambushed by RDX's men. He defeats them in a fight and meets RDX, warning him to bring his brother Robert from Dubai, whom he promises to kill. Soon, Robert arrives, and in revenge, kills Ramachandran, while challenging Aathi to meet him at RDX's place. Aathi came after finding out that RDX kidnapped Anjali and held her hostage by his henchmen in the library of their college, which happens to be the old house that Aathi, Anjali, and their family lived in. Aathi escapes after killing Robert with his gun. RDX's men hold Anjali hostage, but Bullet and the other students in the college save her. In a thrilling climax, Aathi kills RDX and is shown to be leaving and reuniting with Anjali, the only one left in his family.
