Muthina Kathirika

6/23/2016

Muthina Kathirika begins with a narrator (RJ Balaji, evoking the laughs with his signature delivery) introducing the primary characters to us. We see how and why Muthupandi (Sundar C) became a politician and takes after his father and grandfather, who were low-level party workers. We are introduced to the people in his life — his family (loving mother and self-interested siblings), his friend Saravanan (Sathish, with a fake moustache that threatens to fall off at any moment) and most importantly, his political rivals, Bullet Marudhu (VTV Ganesh) and Vanjinathan (Singampuli). This sets the tone for the film, a comedy that is set against the backdrop of local politics and a bit of romance. Muthupandi's biggest worry is that he is 40 and hasn't married yet (not for lack of trying, though)
