Kodi (/koʊdi/ transl. Flag) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language political action drama film directed by R. S. Durai Senthilkumar and produced by Grass Root Film Company. The film stars Dhanush in dual roles, alongside Trisha, Anupama Parameswaran (in her Tamil film debut), Saranya Ponvannan, S. A. Chandrasekhar, Kaali Venkat, Namo Narayana and G. Marimuthu. In the film, a politician has to compete against his lover, and his twin brother is also dragged into the conflict.
Dhanush, who produced R. S. Durai Senthilkumar's previous two films, Ethir Neechal and Kaaki Sattai, played the male lead actor in this film. Principal photography began in January 2016 and wrapped that March. The film's music was composed by Santhosh Narayanan, the cinematography is performed by Venkatesh S, and editing is handled by Prakash Mabbu.
Kodi was released on 28 October 2016, during the week of Diwali. It received five nominations in the Tamil branch at the 64th Filmfare Awards South, including Best Actor (Dhanush), Best Actress (Trisha) and Best Supporting Actress (Anupama and Saranya), but did not win any of them; Trisha instead won the Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress – Tamil. The film was remade in Kannada as Dhwaja in 2018.[1]
