Dharmadorai is a 1991 Tamil drama film starring Rajinikanth, Gautami, Charan Raj, Nizhalgal Ravi and Senthil. The film was remake of 1989 Kannada movie Deva with Vishnuvardhan in the lead role. The film was dubbed into Telugu as Khaidi Annayya. It was also remade in Hindi as Tyagi, with Rajinikanth reprising his role in the original. It was a block-buster movie and completed a 175-day run at the box office.

The soundtrack was composed by Ilaiyaraaja while the lyrics for all the songs were written by Panchu Arunachalam. Gangai Amaran wrote only one song, Aanenna pennena. Ilayaraja reused "Maasimaasam" as "Enno Rathri" in Telugu film Dharmakshetram (1992). The song was later remixed by Srikanth Deva in Pandi (2008).
