Red Indians is a 1999 Malayalam action-drama movie directed by Sunil and produced by Ahmed Bachan. It stars Vijayaraghavan, Vikram and Preetha Vijayakumar.
A forest smuggle named Wayanadan, lives in the jungle and smuggles sandalwood. He is also involved with other anti-social behaviour and forest controlling activities like robberies, dacoity, murders and drug pedalling. He consequently kidnaps an electrician Rahul and takes him to the jungle, forcing him to teach him how to make explosives. Rahul refuses to help create bombs and is subsequently falsely accused of murder. The rest of the story is about how Rahul proves his innocence to police investigators.[1]
The film was originally released in Malayalam in December 1999; later it was dubbed and re-released in Tamil as Thilak with two reshot songs and a comedy track featuring Vivek in June 2004.[3] It was also dubbed and released in Telugu under the same name.[4]
