Music helping the sentimental touch in a great way but credits to Saranya for a perfect and mature execution. Credits to the casting team for a bunch of perfect pick for an antagonist and the villainous crew. That was his profound film making style that swayed number of classics which has been luxuriating our industry. Kudos to the legendary directors Bala and Balaji Sakthivel who emphasized on reality films and literally persuaded hundreds of films and film-makers through their evergreen-classics Sethu and Kadhal, that changed the long- prevailing scenario of South Indian cinema. Though its very tedious to direct a reality film in a rural backdrop without any correlation of two great classics of modern times (subramaniyapuram and paruthiveeran), the film-maker has given his best shot. The opening scene with the death of Lal due to regional disputes and the transition of his son in the village, visualization of the songs, the actor's mannerisms and yet a number of factors in the film purely reminds us of Ameer's classic. Inevitably, we could see the concordances of another trend-changing work, Paruthiveeran, in the base plot of the film. She is the best character artiste in and around the industry not without a reason. And needless to quote, Saranya's phenomenal performance is a vital contribution, helping the film to attain some quality. The film is neatly paced with humor, romance and sentiments, striking a perfect balance for a commercial film. When everyone was awaiting Sasikumar's next directional venture (after his trend-setting film subramaniapuram) the director, started to substantiate his acting career with consecutive successes. The director successfully delivered his script, meeting the expectations of the crowd. The film is swift with its comic sequences and the audience could pick it up though it was scattered into pieces and widely plot- abberative. Muthiah also goes overboard with the melodrama and in his use of older songs to evoke a lighter mood and all these unnecessary padding, especially towards the end, make this Kutti Puli as fierce as a stuffed tiger.Kutti puli Rating: 2.5/5 Action Drama Debut director Muthaiah clearly making a mark with a clean commercial film. The same cannot be said of the comedy track involving Pappu and his gang, who are the educated youth in the place and vie for Bharathi, which goes on and on in the second half. There are a few moments that do work like the effortless companionship of Saranya and her neighbour Rama Prabha and their trip to the town to give a makeover to Kutti Puli is genuinely funny. You sense a laziness in scripting that is shocking because this is the debut film for Muthaiah. It should have been quite easy given that the director has two actors who are typecast in roles that should have endeared them instantly to us.
But the diversions this story takes never lets us to engage with this angle. The film begins with a back story involving Kutti Puli’s dad and the plot is actually about how his death influences the mother, her son and their relationship. And, this pattern goes on a loop until the very end. So, one moment you have a scene between Kutti Puli and his mom, the next with Bharathi followed by a scene with Moorthy. Here, they stick out as the director is unable to weave a plot that brings them together in a satisfying manner. Those films used all these Sasikumar-isms but still managed to keep us engaged. But, unlike in his previous films, these elements don’t come together as a whole. And, most importantly, the aruva (sickle) which has come to define his films. M Muthaiah’s Kutti Puli has everything we have seen in Sasikumar’s films so far. Meanwhile, Moorthy, a local gangster is humiliated by Puli and now, he wants revenge. Enter Bharathi (Lakshmi Menon), who falls in love with Puli seeing his ever-helpful nature.
His mother (Saranya) wants him to mend his ways and get married but Puli thwarts all her plans. Movie Review: Kutti Puli (Sasikumar) is a do-gooder with a roguish streak and his attitude often lands him in trouble.
But, can his violent past leave him in peace? Until, the new girl in his neighbourhood gets attracted to him. Synopsis: An angry young man manages to put off his mother’s attempts to reform him.
