Arasatchi is a Tamil language film released in 2004. The film was directed by then debutante, N Maharajan. The film starred Arjun, Lara Dutta and Raghuvaran in the lead roles. Vivek as the comedian, Lakshmi and Manivannan all play in other roles. The film's music was composed by Harris Jayaraj. The film released in November 2004 became a super hit in most areas raising business for the lead actors.It was also dubbed into Telugu.

Arasaktchi is a routine story of a youth seeking vendetta against the corrupt lawyers . The storyline is interesting but the manner in which the vendetta takes place spoils the film. Inspired from an Hollywood film which focussed on the nexus between the judiciary- police in New York, director Maharasan spins off a tale to suit the local condition and in the process leaves behind lot of holes in the narration.

At the very outset the film gives you a taste of things to come. Anandraj a lawyer who argues for rapists and murderers is killed by a cricket ball hit by Arjun.
