Vikram is a 1986 Indian Tamil-language action spy film directed by Rajasekhar and written by Kamal Haasan and Sujatha. The film stars Haasan, Sathyaraj, Amjad Khan, Lissy, Dimple Kapadia, Charuhasan and Janagaraj. It is the first Indian film to use computer for recording the songs. The screenplay was first published as a serial in the magazine Kumudam. Both Lissy and Kapadia made their Tamil debut through this film.[2]

Although the film received mixed reviews, it performed very well at the box office and turned out to be a commercially successful venture for Raaj Kamal Films International.[3] A spiritual successor with the same name was released in 2022, with Haasan reprising his role of the title character.
