The Saravana Subbiah directorial managed to impress audiences as the hero who fights injustice.

The film went on to be remade in Bengali as Deva and the Kannada remake was titled Dhumm. Interestingly, it is after the release of Dheena, that Ajith Kumar carved a niche for himself as an action-hero and was nicknamed as ‘Thala’, which was also a nickname for him in the movie. With high-octane action sequences, romance and fighting for his family being the crux of the plot, Dheena serves as an example of a quintessentially commercial movie. Marking the debut of the popular Tamil filmmaker AR Murugadoss, 2001 actioner Dheena is an important part of Ajith’s filmography.
