Vandae Maatharam is a 2010 Indian bilingual action film directed by Tamil director T. Aravind. The film features Mammootty in the lead role and Arjun, Sneha in supporting roles along with Shraddha Arya, Rajkapoor, Nassar, Jai Akash, Jagadish, Deepak J. D. and Rajan P. Dev. The film was simultaneously made and released in Malayalam and Tamil and was later dubbed in Telugu. The story revolves around the investigation and how two police officers, played by Mammootty and Arjun, eradicate the terrorists from entering the border. The film was released overseas on 10 September 2010 and later in India on 17 September 2010.

Gopikrishnan (Mammootty) and Anwar Hussain (Arjun) are tough police officers. They analyze farmers' struggle and related social violence to put forward an amicable solution to have lasting harmony. They are highly disturbed by the terrorists' infiltrations. Nandini (Sneha), an aviator, is Gopikrishnan's wife and they are sad that they don't have a child. The rest of the story deals with how they counter act against the terrorists and save the land.

The shooting started by the middle of 2007 and later on the story was modified due to some personal problems. The film was started with Karthi as the director, but after the first schedule the producer Henry, who also wrote the script, replaced him with debutante T. Aravind. The film was shot at locations in Kochi, Chennai, Marthandam and Thengapattanam. It took 100 days of shooting and ten schedules to complete the film. The Tamil version was initially titled Aruvadi but was later changed to Vandae Maatharam too. The audio launch was held on 3 July 2010 and the movie was all set to release on the eve of Ramzan, 10 September 2010 in both Tamil and Malayalam. But at the last moment, it couldn't make it to the theatres. Then, it was released on 17 September 2010.
