It is based on his play of the same name. The film stars Muthuraman, Thengai Srinivasan, Sreekanth and Lakshmi in the lead roles, with Manorama and Venniradai Moorthy in supporting roles. The film was a low-budget film of the time and is perhaps best known for Srinivasan dressing up as a fake saint, making a lot of situational comedies along with it. PlotLakshmi (Manorama) is an extremely domineering second wife to Sivaswamy (Vennira Aadai Moorthy) and controls all his money, treating him with scorn and disdain. When Sivaswamy's son Ramu (Muthuraman), son of his first wife, requires a sum of Rs. 3000 for his sister's husband, she refuses instantly. Ramu and his cousin Mali hatch a plot with Appaswamy (Thengai Sreenivasan), who pretends to be a fake swamiji in order to get to her money safe and steal a sum of Rs. 50,000. Meanwhile, Rama (Lakshmi) is an orphan whose only friend is the doctor of a mental institution. When Rama wants a conduct certificate, the doctor bungles and hands over the certificate of a mad girl. Rama arrives at Lakshmi's house to work as a secretary, Lakshmi sees the certificate and decides to keep Rama at her house to humour, her fearing her insanity. The film leads to plenty of humorous situations. Cast
ProductionKasethan Kadavulada was a stage play which had been written and directed by Chitralaya Gopu.[2] AVM Productions founder A. V. Meiyappan who saw the play decided to adapt it into a feature film and insisted Gopu direct;[3] the film adaptation, also titled Kasethan Kadavulada, thus marked his directorial debut.[4] R. Muthuraman, Venniradai Moorthy and V. Gopalakrishnan who were part of the play reprised their roles in the film.[2] Thengai Srinivasan was selected to appear in the character of Madras Tamil speaking tea seller masquerading as a saint.[5] Gopu recalled that producers put up a huge cut-out for Srinivasan in the saint get-up. Srinivasan who was pleased did not want the lead actor Muthuraman to misunderstand so he and Gopu went to Muthuraman and explained that it was the role that became popular and even apologised to Muthuraman who smiled it away.[6]SoundtrackThe music was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[7] Elements of the song "Jambulingame" were borrowed by S. Thaman and used in the song "Pudhu Punal" from the film Mouna Guru (2011).[8]
