Agaram "'( _ta. அகரம்)' is 2007 released Tamil language film. It is directed by debutant Nagarajan and stars Nandha and Hardeep Singh in the lead role, with Biju Menon portraying the role of the antagonist and Vivek in a supporting role among others. Despite being announced shortly after Nantha's debut in 2002, with "Mounam Pesiyadhe", the film's release became delayed and only eventually released on February 16, 2007, however it failed at the Chennai box-office as it was released alongside the big budget film, "Pachaikili Muthucharam". However it is most well known for its controversy with, "Kireedam", a major budget film, which demanded to see Agaram before its release fearing that the story was plagarised from its script.

Plot

Thiru (Nandha) is a young Airtel employee, who has just moved into the family's new house in Tuticorin, with his sister (Varshini), mother (Seetha), and grandmother (Sukumari). Their happiness is tinged with the grief of Thiru's father's recent demise, before the construction could be completed.

Fate decrees that the entire family be placed in jeopardy when Thiru has a dust-up with Pasupathy, brother of the dreaded don of the waterfront mafia, Varma (Biju Menon) during the local elections.

The enraged don swears to kill Thiru, agreeing to spare his life for just four days till the election ends, at the request of his politician crony (Ilavarasu), who is all set to become the MLA. The family flees, but is captured and brought back to face the atrocities unleashed by Varma's goons.
