Madras Mail is a 1936 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by C. N. Trivedi.
The story revolves around Sekar, a kind-hearted young man who falls in love with Meena, the daughter of a zamindar, despite initial conflict between their families. Murugesh, a minister, opposes their relationship and falsely accuses Sekar, leading to his imprisonment.
Sekar escapes from jail through an inmate's help and renames himself "Madras Mail." Under this new identity, he takes it upon himself to punish evildoers while aiding ordinary citizens. Meena is abducted during these events; Madras Mail orchestrates her rescue.
The investigation reveals Murugesh was behind the abduction. The zamindar then sends Murugesh to jail and ensures Sekar's freedom. Consequently, Sekar and Meena marry.
The film stars Battling Mani and T. N. Meenakshi and is recognised as the first action film in Tamil cinema.
