Director-actor Sasikumar’s yet another commercial outing ‘Kutti Puli’ is directed by M Muthaiah, with Lakshmi Menon in the lead besides seasoned actors like Saranya Ponvannan, Prabha Ramesh in key roles.

While considering the recent hit statistics, commercial films which have been presented with a blend of different flavor have clinched victory. Ethir Neechal and Sundarapandian are two standing examples for it. Kutti Puli happens to fall under the same category, but let us see in detail in what it scores and what it doesn’t.

Story : 

Mettu Patti is the village in which Kutti Puli (Sasikumar) is portrayed as a tough guy, who does anything for the safety of women and stands against injustice. Deivanai (Saranya Ponvannan) is Kutti Puli’s mother, who hates him getting involved into unwanted troubles by helping others.

Bharathi (Lakshmi Menon) settles down in Mettu Patti with her father and instantly becomes the center of attraction for the youngsters in the village. Guys, who try to propose to Bharathi,exploit Kutti Puli’s illiteracy and experiment with him on what Bharathi’s reaction would be if somebody tries to propose to her.

As days pass by Bharathi develops feelings for Kutti Puli admiring his helping tendency and innocence. Kutti Puli is the one who keeps off from women as he thinks that no girl should be associated with him in the name of marriage as she might get affected due to his risk prone life.Did Bharathi marry Kutti Puli and how he gets rid of his rivals forms the rest of the story.

Review : 

Director Muthaiah has delivered yet another commercial masala entertainer which comes loaded with action, sentiment, comedy and most importantly, some good music. Though the film is a typical commercial formula and the storyline is familiar, the climax is the one which is something which we have not seen before.

The filmmaker has made use of the sentiments of motherhood to good effect. Though the sentiments are one among the number of commercial ingredients added in the film, actress Saranya Ponvannan’s performance has made it more impactful.

Apart from action, comedy and love sequences, sentiment plays a major role in the film which is connected powerfully to the audience through the roles played by Saranya Ponvannan and Prabha Ramesh. Both these actresses look so authentic in the role of village mothers and the director has given them a tanned look which adds much more value to their look.

Saranya has very well portrayed the sentimental values of a mother who tries to pull his own son out of violence and longs for his wellbeing.Prabha Ramesh acts as a pillar of support to Saranya’s role. These two ladies together deliver us the mother’s love instead of Saranya Ponvannan doing it single-handedly.

Sasikumar’s makeover as a rugged youth looks convincing and the actor-director’s extra efforts put in for the action sequences and folk dance numbers needs a special mention. Lakshmi Menon is good with her expressions which is her biggest plus and suits the role of a village belle perfectly.

Murugadoss, for the first time has combined with Sasikumar and their combo tends to bring smile on our face at times, but doesn’t seem hilarious.

Gibran’s album for the film can be considered as the perfect commercial oneas there is a song dedicated for each and every commercial flavor of the film.'Aruvaakaaran' is the pick of the lot which is a dedication for lovers. 'Aathaa Un Selai' praises the values of motherhood.

‘Thaatiyarey’talks about the heroics off Kutti Puli, while ‘Kaathu Kaathu’ praises the beauty of Lakshmi Menon. Background scores for the action sequences are fast paced and adrenaline thumping.

Mahesh Muthuswamy has captured the village lifestyle, rituals and festival celebrations in authentic style. Edits from Gopi Krishna showcase the scenes in a neat manner and acts as a lubricant for the smooth running of the screenplay.

Verdict  :  A typical Commercial Entertainer

Rating   :  3 / 5
