Yuddham Sei (English: Wage War) is a 2011 Indian Tamil neo-noir crime thriller film written and directed by Myshkin. It stars director Cheran in the lead role along with debutant Dipa Shah, Y. G. Mahendra, Lakshmi Ramakrishnan and Jayaprakash. The film was released on 4 February 2011. The film was remade in Kannada as Gharshane.

The entire city of Chennai is shaken by news of amputated male arms packed in cartons and left in public places, possibly as a message to both the public and the police. The missing people are identified as Raja Manikam, Moorthy, John Britto and their friends from the slums based on identification from their families. J.K. (Cheran), a brooding CB-CID officer, is assigned to the case. He reluctantly accepts it since his superior promises to reopen the case of his missing sister if he solves this case first.

By triangulating the coordinates, J.K. and his colleagues find a lead in this case. Durai Pandi (Manicka Vinayagam) is a leading textile businessman who was beaten, insulted in public and handed over to the police after it was found that he had used a peephole to look into the women’s dressing room at one of his boutiques. He is caught by the victim Suja's family, who are totally shattered by this incident. The inspector in-charge of this case is Isakki Muthu. However, Durai Pandi's worker accepts the blame for the crime, clearing Durai Pandi's name. Later, Suja's father Dr. Purushothaman (Y. Gee. Mahendra) is arrested on charges of bribery, but is then released due to a lack of evidence. Also, a sexual harassment complaint is lodged against Dr. Purushothaman’s wife (Lakshmy Ramakrishnan) by one of her students who turns out to be John Britto. This chain of tragic events shatter the family, and they commit suicide by setting themselves on fire. But Suja still remains missing, so J.K. reopens her case.

More amputated arms turn up around the city. Even a police officer's arm from ACP Tirisangu's (Selva) team is left at the doorstep of their police station. This terrifies the police department since the criminal is targeting police officers too, and they intensify the investigation. After running a background check on Tirisangu, J.K. beings to suspect that there are some dishonest policemen in Tirisangu's station, as all the crimes have happened in that jurisdiction. In the mean time, Tirisangu’s gang members panic that J.K. would identify them, and try to kill him. As it turns out, J.K’s sister is being held captive by Tirisangu ever since she witnessed one of their crimes. He tells her that someday she would prove useful to him. Mortician Judas (Jayaprakash) offers to show Durai Pandi and his elderly associates a video. He leads them to a van with a laptop, and shuts the door after them. Smoke fills the inside of the van. J.K. appears on the scene, as he has been following Judas. Tirisangu also follows J.K. and shoots Judas. Two of Judas’s associates get into the van and drive away, and the third one, a youngster, is left behind. It turns out that the three of them are Dr. Purushothaman, his wife and their son, who everyone had thought was dead all this time. Before dying, Judas confesses a shocking truth to J.K.
