Sindhooram (transl. Vermilion) is a 1997 Indian Telugu-language crime drama film written and directed by Krishna Vamsi. The film stars Brahmaji and Sanghavi, with Ravi Teja and Soundarya (Geeta) in supporting roles. The film examines the complexities of Naxalism in Andhra Pradesh, focusing on the societal and emotional factors driving educated individuals to join the movement.
Although the film received critical acclaim for its portrayal of a sensitive subject, it was a commercial failure. Sindhooram won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Telugu, was screened at the International Film Festival of India, and received five Nandi Awards.
