Aramm (transl. Virtue) is a 2017 Indian Tamil-language political drama film written and directed by Gopi Nainar. It features Nayanthara as a district collector, with Ramachandran Durairaj and Sunu Lakshmi in supporting roles. Featuring music composed by Ghibran and cinematography by Om Prakash, the film began production in mid-2016 and had a theatrical release on 10 November 2017. Post-release, the film won appreciation from film critics and performed well commercially.

The story begins with District Collector Madhivadhani (Nayanthara), who is struggling with her approval to a higher official (Kitty) and telling a bone-chilling story to him.

A week ago, in Kattoor village, poor people are seen fighting with the police for clean water, sanitation, and the verdict to arrest their cruel landlord. Two boys are seen playing in a river, as their family drags them out and scolds them for going and playing there. The next day, a woman named Sumathi (Sunu Lakshmi) and her 4-year-old daughter Dhanshika (Mahalakshmi) are walking together back home. Sumathi soon learns that Dhanshika went missing and enquires the villagers, who tell her that her daughter fell into a borewell. Sumathi rushes there and faints. The villagers call the police, who in turn alerts Madhivadhani. Madhivadhani and her team rush there to assess the situation but are stopped because there is a deep ditch in the middle of the road, which delays their arrival at the site. Madhivadhani and her team finally arrive but are battered by the journalists and the news media, who criticize Madhivadhani over her late arrival and the negligence of the landlord over the open borewell.
