Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (transl. I am a rowdy too) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language romantic action comedy film written and directed by Vignesh Shivan, produced by Dhanush under his Wunderbar Films. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara, with Radhika Sarathkumar, RJ Balaji, Anandaraj, and R. Parthiban in supporting roles. It follows a police inspector's son who becomes a gangster. He falls in love with a woman seeking revenge against another gangster and joins her cause.

The music was composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography was handled by George C. Williams, and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.

Naanum Rowdy Dhaan was released worldwide on 21 October 2015 and distributed by Lyca Productions. It received positive reviews and performed well at the box office. For her performance, Nayanthara won the Filmfare and SIIMA Awards for Best Actress in the Tamil branch.

Pondicherry Pandiyan, also known as Pondy Pandi, is the son of Puducherry police inspector P. Meena Kumari. Despite being an inspector's son, he grows up being friendly with criminals and upon reaching adulthood, unbeknownst to his mother, he becomes a thug, albeit an incompetent one. Pandi and his friends come across a deaf woman, Kadhambari ("Kadhu"), and Pandi immediately falls in love with her. Kadhu is the daughter of an honest police officer, Ravikumar.

Fifteen years before, then-sub-inspector Ravikumar was in pursuit of Killivallavan, a dreaded gangster. Killi had been arrested in public by Ravi, and in retaliation, he slapped Ravi when the officer was shopping with Kadhu. Later, Ravi arrested almost all of Killi's gang members. In revenge, Killi sent a bomb disguised as a gift to Ravi's house, which killed Ravi's wife and caused Kadhu to lose her hearing.

Later on, Ravi and his daughter moved to another part of the country and did not return until his last year of service. Kadhu seeks Pandi's help to find her father, who has not spoken to her for the past two days. Pandi soon learns that Ravikumar was killed by Killi the same night he met Kadhu but hides the fact from her. A week later, Kadhu learns about her father's death and is determined to avenge him by going after Killi.

Pandi agrees to help Kadhu, with the promise that he will restrain Killi while she stabs him. Pandi and his gang, along with Kadhu, hatch a plan to murder Killi while he is travelling. However, this is foiled as their plan gets mixed up with that of Mansoor, Killi's political rival, who wants to contest an upcoming election in place of Killi's mistress, Baby. Pandi's gang is enraged and despite Pandi's reassurances, they decide not to help Kadhu further.

Kadhu decides to go ahead on her own, as she does not want Pandi and his friends to split up over her. She reaches Killi's hideout, but on attempting to kill him, he knocks her out. Her phone rings, and Killi answers it. An unaware Pandi details their plan to kill him. Killi gives him his location and asks his men to look into Pandi. Pandi soon arrives at the hideout and tries to plead for Kadhu's life, but Killi beats him up and puts him in the same room as Kadhu. After she wakes up, Pandi fights Killi and manages to escape, together with Kadhu.
