Asuravadham (transl. Demon vanquishing) is a 2018 Indian Tamil-language action thriller film written and directed by Maruthupandian, and produced by Leela Lalitkumar. It is based on rural areas. Govind Menon scored the music for the film, and cinematography is handled by S.R Kathiir. The film was earlier scheduled to have its theatrical release on 13 April 2018, coinciding with Puthandu, but was postponed to 29 June 2018 due to Kollywood strike, which resulted in a standoff between Nadigar Sangam and Digital Service Providers on the increase of VPF charges. The film had its theatrical release on 29 June and received mixed reviews from critics and audience and emerged as an average hit.
