Adharmam (1994)

The environmentally aware sandalwood smuggler Dharma (Nasser) plants a sapling for every tree he chops down in the forests of Gunderippalayam. When he is killed by forest rangers, his younger brother Arjuna (Murali) continues the smuggling business with greater violence. In the end Arjuna justifies his actions by arguing that the state itself is responsible for creating criminals. Some of the film works with mythological references.
