Chinthamani Kolacase (transl. Chinthamani Murder Case) is a 2006 Indian Malayalam-language vigilante legal thriller film directed by Shaji Kailas. The film stars Suresh Gopi and Bhavana (as the title character) in the lead roles with an ensemble supporting cast. This film narrates the story of a Lal Krishna Viradiyar, a psychotic and daredevil lawyer, who provides verdict in his style of law enforcement for the criminals after the court sessions.

The style of the movie is non-linearity that is maintained throughout the entire film. The basic story-telling style of Shaji Kailas is spun on and off by the writer A. K. Sajan. It was remade in Telugu as Sri Mahalakshmi and remade in Tamil as Ellam Avan Seyal. The core storyline was also used in the Kannada movie Aptha.
