Vetri (1984) is an Indian Tamil-language action crime film directed by S. A. Chandrasekhar and starring Vijayakanth in the lead role.
The music was composed by Shankar–Ganesh, with S. A. Chandrasekhar's son, Vijay, making his first on-screen appearance playing a cameo as a child artist.
The film centers around a young student named Vijay who enjoys challenges and betting, leading to a series of events that ultimately land him in prison on a murder charge.
A significant story element involves Lalitha, a young woman who is raped by her professor before tragically committing suicide.
Vetri was released on 17 February 1984 and is a remake of the director's own 1983 Kannada film Geluvu Nannade, which he later remade in Telugu as Devanthakudu (1984).
