Unnaipol Oruvan (also released internationally under the translated title Someone Like You) is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by Chakri Toleti in his directorial debut. It stars Mohanlal and Kamal Haasan in the lead roles. The film was simultaneously made in Telugu as Eenadu (transl. Today) with Venkatesh playing Mohanlal's role. Both are remakes of the 2008 Hindi film A Wednesday!. Set in Chennai and Hyderabad in the Tamil and Telugu versions respectively, the story 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.

Released on 18 September 2009, both Unnaipol Oruvan and Eenadu received positive reviews from critics and were commercially successful. The film marked Mohanlal's return to Tamil cinema in a lead role after Pop Carn (2003). Unnaipol Oruvan has attained a cult following throughout the decade and is considered as one of the best investigation thriller films in Tamil cinema.
