Ilaignar Ani (in Tamil pronounced as /iɭaːɲaɾ aɳi/) is a 1994 Indian Tamil-language action drama film directed by K. R. Selvaraj. The film stars Radha Ravi (who also produced), with newcomers R. Harish, Ranjeev, Harikumar, Kannan, Prem Raj, Vijayraj and Sivasanth playing supporting roles. It was released on 7 October 1994.[1]
The film begins with the capture of the terrorist Kumar (Vasu Vikram) by ACP Rajarajan (Radha Ravi). Rajarajan investigates on Kumar's possible links, so he meets his roommates Raja (R. Harish), Balu (Ranjeev), Murali (Harikumar), Devaraj (Kannan), Shankar (Prem Raj), Peter (Vijayraj) and Siva (Sivasanth). Soon, the youngsters clash with the terrorist Kumar who used them wrongly and the local liquor-shop owner (Raviraj).

Malini Mannath of The Indian Express gave the film a mixed review and said, "A tighter hold on his screenplay, avoiding of repetition of situations and stronger characterisations would have brought out the message better".[3] Thulasi of Kalki praised the director for handling the theme against violence in an interesting manner.[4]
