Indiaglitz wrote:"Director Kathir didn't experiment much and took the familiar path of commercial entertainer following the footsteps of his guru". This flick is all aruvaal and no brains". Rediff called it "silly and ridiculous" and also added "culprit clearly is V V Kathir, who's come up with a half-baked script that manages to destroy even Jeeva's credibility.

Jeeva and Poonam again paired in Kacheri Arambam.īehindwoods wrote:"Thenavattu is for people who just adore illogical masala flicks". Due to the film's poor response, Antony stopped producing films. He went to hibernation and had not directed any film so far. Thenavattu was the second film to be distributed by Sun Pictures.Īfter this film, V V Kathir was supposed to direct Karthi's Siruthai but didn't direct. Shankar Mahadevan, Mahalakshmi Iyer, Senthil Dass The soundtrack was composed by Srikanth Deva in his second collaboration with Jiiva after E. This was the first Tamil film which had transgender people treated with respect. Art director Roobesh created a huge set at YMCA resembling Koothaandavar temple. Saranya was selected to play Jeeva's mother. Poonam Bajwa, who acted in Telugu films including Boss was selected as heroine, making her debut in Tamil and was also shooting for Seval simultaneously. Bhavana was originally slated to be heroine but she left the film due to unknown reasons. Antony, producer of this film, had earlier produced Jeeva's elder brother Jithan Ramesh's film Puli Varudhu.

Kottai goes on making aruvaals until Santhosh catches sight of the ravishing Gayatri. Naturally, Santhosh goes on raping women, and Suryaprakash goes on standing still. There also a remarkably stupid and one-dimensionally portrayed minister and a helpless, frustrated cop named Suryaprakash, who simply stands like a rock in uniform and wants to settle a score with Kailasam because Santhosh raped and killed his sister. Santhosh goes around playing musical instruments, mouthing punchlines, and raping women left, right, and center. Meantime, there is yet another villain Santhosh, who is Kailasam's son. Kottai's logic for falling in love with her is that she treats him like his own family. Naturally, Gayatri, is also a wonderfully kind-hearted girl who wears saris and teaches music to students. He also falls in love with the first fair-complexioned, slim beauty he comes across, Gayatri. Kottai then goes to work by feeding crying children milk and helping men with epileptic seizures. However, Kottai gets to know that Kailasam hired him to make sickles to kill people. Kottai and Vellaiyan think that all Kailasam does is cut up trees, which is why he requires their blacksmithing skills. However, our heroes are unaware of the fact. They end up at the massive home of Kailasam, the local terror who slices up people whenever he can. Kottai journeys to big bad Chennai in company with Vellaiyan, who dances with every Karagattam dancer on the roadside, makes lewd jokes, and appears to have only one thing on his mind. The film starts with Kailasam, the somber bigwig who is performing the last rites of someone dear to him, but the appearance of Kottai (first in the chaotic Koovagam festival and later atop a Veeranam pipe) swinging a scythe maniacally sets the tone for the rest of the film.Ĭut to the flashback a few months ago: in Ramnad, Kottai's mother is cutting down logs and boasting about her son: he is a god who deserves to see the outside world and derive its benefits.
