Bigil (transl. Whistle) is a 2019 Indian Tamil-language sports action film written and directed by Atlee Kumar and produced by Kalpathi S. Aghoram under the banner AGS Entertainment. The film stars Vijay in dual lead roles as father and son alongside Nayanthara and Jackie Shroff in other prominent roles. The film has music composed by A. R. Rahman. The film's title, Bigil was announced on 22 June 2019.

The film follows Michael, a don and a former footballer who decides to coach a women's football team when their coach gets attacked. Michael faces challenges when his team doesn't cooperate with him due to his violent background and also finds himself hunted by some rivals who want revenge.

Released theatrically on 25 October 2019, Bigil is the first Tamil film to be screened in limited IMAX screens. It is also the first Tamil film to be screened in Egypt and Jordan. The film emerged as the top-grossing Tamil film of 2019 with an estimated ₹285–300 crore worldwide, overtaking Rajnikanth's Petta. The film also overtook Saaho and Housefull 4 in overseas territories. Bigil is the topmost earned Tamil film of all-time in France and United Kingdom. It debuted at third position at the Malaysian box office in the opening weekend and also performed well in Sri Lanka.

Michael Rayappan is a rowdy working for public welfare in a Chennai slum. His friend Kathir, the coach of the Tamil Nadu women's football team, gets attacked by goons while driving home. Michael fights them off but realizes his archenemy Daniel has stabbed Kathir, leading to spinal injuries that prevent him from accompanying the team. The team blames Michael for his condition, while Kathir tells a member of the federation to replace him with a former footballer named "Bigil" who is none other than Michael.

Seven years ago, Michael was a talented footballer who brought glory to the state and his slum by winning matches. His father Rayappan, a don, once got into a brawl with the henchmen of Alex, Daniel's father. This led to bitter relations between the three. Rayappan encouraged Michael to become a champion and stay away from the life of violence. When Michael and his team were not selected for the Indian football team, Rayappan personally convinced the All India Football Federation president J. K. Sharma to get the boys selected. However, while leaving, Michael saw Rayappan getting stabbed to death by Alex and his henchmen, following which he jumped off the train and proceeded to kill the goons including Alex. Following Rayappan's death, Michael decided to stay in the slum and leave behind his dream.

Back to present, Daniel is arrested and Michael accepts Kathir's request to return to footballing. He accompanies the team to Delhi as their coach, along with his girlfriend Angel who becomes the team's physiotherapist. Michael is later attacked in the premises by some goons, due to which he is nearly expelled but J. K. Sharma comes to his rescue. The girls, reluctant to cooperate with Michael due to his violent background, also blame him when they lose to Manipur in the opening match. A dejected Michael tenders resignation to Sharma, but soon learns that Sharma was behind the attack on him and was trying to seek revenge because Rayappan had actually convinced him by violent force to select Michael and his team.

Michael now starts training his team, eventually making them toil and realize the spirit of teamwork. He and Angel also succeed in reviving former key players to boost the team's strength: Gayathri, a Brahmin Girl who had to give up football after marriage in a conservative family; and Anitha, who became depressed after an acid attack. On the day of their match with Haryana, Sharma gets Michael arrested due to the brawl in the premises. With the help of his own men, Michael frees himself and rushes to the stadium where he finds some Haryana players and the referee manipulated by Sharma using dirty tactics. Michael instructs a player Pandiyamma to hit the referee in an accident, following which they beat Haryana and win all the remaining matches. They qualify for the finals at Chennai where they are to play with Manipur again.
