What happens

Badri is a 2001 Indian Tamil-language sports drama film directed by P. A. Arun Prasad. The film stars Vijay in the main lead role as a college brat who turns into a kickboxer to prove himself. Bhumika, Monal, Vivek, Riyaz Khan and Bhupinder Singh play supporting roles. The film marked Bhumika's Tamil debut. The film's soundtrack was composed by Ramana Gogula, while the background score was composed by Devi Sri Prasad. It is the Tamil remake of the director's own Telugu film Thammudu (1999). Filming began in September 2000 after Vijay finished shooting for his previous films such as Priyamanavale (2000) and Friends (2001), and was completed by March 2001, a month before its release. The film had a theatrical release on 12 April 2001 and was a commercial success, completing a 100-day theatrical run at the Tamil Nadu box office. India Today listed the film among Vijay's 10 best film performances. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
