You're referring to the Tamil movie "Thani Oruvan"!
The story follows Mithran IPS (Jayam Ravi), an honest police officer who is not just interested in catching petty criminals but wants to root out the masterminds who control the system from the shadows. He identifies Siddharth Abhimanyu (Arvind Swamy), a brilliant but corrupt scientist and businessman, as the source of much of the corruption in the state. The film is a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between the two, where the villain is always two steps ahead.
Jayam Ravi breaks his usual "lover boy" mold here. His character, Mithran, is written as an intellectual equal to the villain. There is no unnecessary heroism or unrealistic fight sequences where the hero beats up 50 people effortlessly. The hero wins because he uses his brain, making the victory satisfying.
