'Ee Nadu' is a 1982 Indian Malayalam-language political film directed by I. V. Sasi, written by T. Damodaran and produced by N. G. John. The film stars Balan K. Nair with Mammootty, Ratheesh, and T. G. Ravi in supporting roles. The music score was handled by Shyam. The film talks about how politicians and the rich people in society exploit their power and ignore the pleas of the general public. This film was loosely based on a liquor poisoning mishap that occurred in Vypeen in Kerala and is now known infamously as The Vypeen alcohol poisonings that claimed 77 lives.
The film was released on 14 April 1982 and was a commercial and critical success. The film went on to become the third highest grossing Malayalam film of 1982 behind 'Aarambham' and 'Padayottam.' N. G. John won the 1982 Filmfare Award for Best Malayalam Film for the film.
The film was remade in Telugu with the same name. It was also remade in Hindi as 'Yeh Desh' and in Tamil as 'Idhu Enga Naadu'.
