Saamy (transl. God) is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by Hari and produced by Pushpa Kandasamy under the banner of Kavithalayaa Productions and presented by K. Balachander. The film stars Vikram in the lead role, alongside Trisha, Kota Srinivasa Rao, Vijayakumar, Ramesh Khanna and Vivek in supporting roles. The music was composed by Harris Jayaraj, while the cinematography and editing were handled by Priyan and V. T. Vijayan respectively.
Saamy was released on 1 May 2003 and became a commercial blockbuster at the box office. The film was remade in Telugu as Lakshmi Narasimha (2004), in Kannada as Ayya (2005), in Bengali as Barood (2004) and in Hindi as Policegiri (2013). Along with Kaakha Kaakha, the film started a trend of cop films in Tamil cinema. A sequel titled Saamy Square was released in 2018, but the sequel became a box office bomb.[3]
