Unnaipol Oruvan (also released internationally under the translated title Someone Like You) is a 2009 Indian action thriller film directed by Chakri Toleti in his directorial debut.

[1] Set in Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad in the Tamil, Malayalam and Telugu versions respectively, the film depicts the confrontation between an anonymous caller who has planted bombs in the city and wants four terrorists to be released, and a police commissioner who tries to hunt him down.

An unnamed man is shown strategically placing a travel bag on a train at the city's Central railway station and in a shopping mall.

He then proceeds to place another bag, under the pretence of lodging an FIR, in the toilet of a police station in Anna Salai, Chennai (Lakdi-ka-pool, Hyderabad in Telugu version and East Fort in Malayalam version), and then arrives on the rooftop of an under-construction building and sets up his base of operations, equipped with gadgets and instruments.

The caller calls up the Commissioner and informs him that five bombs have been planted in locations throughout city, which are programmed to explode simultaneously within 4 hours.

Commissioner seeks the services of the chief secretary to act as the negotiator and also alerts his team involved in intelligence research and surveillance, tapping all the available resources in gathering preliminary information and tracing the location of the caller, who later tips off news reporter Natasha Rajkumar (Shilpa Krishna in Telugu and Malayalam versions), telling her to reach Anna Salai police station immediately.

Commissioner's men realise that the caller is using advanced software to automatically switch the numbers and locations of his mobile phone SIM card every minute, rendering their manpower and the obsolete equipment useless and prompting them to employ the services of a young hacker, an IIT drop-out.

Sethu orders his men to do as told but, at the last moment, Arif decides not to hand over terrorist Abdullah, to ensure all the information regarding the locations of the bombs can be forced out from the caller.

Commissioner admits that they all knew the caller was disturbed because of the insecure environment and the incompetence of the governing authorities but he never imagined him to go to such lengths and have the guts to do something like that.

The title was changed from Thalaivan Irukkiran (Thalavan Ullapol in Malayalam) to Unnaipol Oruvan (Oru Budhanazcha) in early April 2009,[4] named after a novel by Jayakanthan.

[15] Writing for The Hollywood Reporter, Gautaman Bhaskaran wrote that Unnaipol Oruvan is "far more engaging and energetic than its predecessor" and that "superstar Mohanlal plays Chennai police commissioner Raghavan Maraar with rare finesse and extraordinary subtlety ... His screen presence is so overwhelming that an equally great Tamil superstar, Kamal Haasan, as the nameless Common Man, is overshadowed".

[18] The Times of India gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and stated that "Debutant director Chakri Toleti's job is a cakewalk.

Having chosen a proven subject, and a formidable star cast which does not have to be told anything beyond the shooting schedule, the captain's hat sits on his head easily".

"[20] The Times of India gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and stated that "The much-awaited Eenadu lives up to the big expectations and carries the essence of the original (A Wednesday)".

[21] A critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "Eenadu is enjoyable, because of the concept that it's dealing with, and the fact that it's a true blue thriller all the way, with zero gimmicks or cheap thrills, right until the end.
