Veerappu (transl. Valiant) is a 2007 Indian Tamil-language action drama film written and directed by Badri in his directorial debut. It is a remake of Malayalam film Spadikam (1995), but the core plot is drawn from the Malayalam film Narasimham (2000). The film stars Sundar C in the lead role, along with Gopika, Prakash Raj, Vivek, and Santhanam. The music was composed by D. Imman, while editing was done by Mu. Kasi Vishwanathan. The film was an average success at the box office.^[1]

Veerappu is all about the relationship between a strict father Vedhukannu and his rogue son Pulippandi who wants his son to become a brilliant mathematician.

The soundtrack was composed by D. Imman.^[2]

Sify wrote "On the whole Veerappu, is a clean family entertainer with a nice message, worth a look."^[3] Behindwoods wrote "Debutant director Badri, has nothing new to offer for the paying public and the screenplay runs in a set predictable path. Some twists and turns in the storyline could have helped in a big way."^[4] Rediff wrote "The yarn has been 'commercially treated' to suit Tamil sensibilities one would be led to believe. Save for the fast paced moments towards the climax and the punctuations of stunt scenes, the result is slow and too pat."^[5] Anamika of Kalki praised the acting of Sundar and Prakashraj, Kasi Viswanathan's editing and Badri's dialogues but panned Imman's songs and Selvaraj's cinematography and climax looking forced.^[6]
