Ulavuthurai is a 1998 Indian Tamil-language action film directed by D. S. Ramesh Selvan.

Commodore Vasanth Periyasamy is sent to investigate the mysterious deaths of several people at sea. He changes his identity into Krishnamoorthy, a car driver living in disguise for family reasons.
Vasanth's past includes being married to Meena and having a daughter named Priya. A terrorist kidnaps Meena, threatening her life unless Vasanth releases his partners from jail. The situation leads to Meena's death during a rescue mission, and Vasanth is sent to jail due to corrupt naval officers.
The Department of the Navy then sends Vasanth on a new mission, leading him to take action against those responsible for the deaths at sea.
