Director Prakash N’s Kudimahaan is a realistic, refreshing, clean comedy that leaves you highly impressed and vastly satisfied by the time it ends.

Entertainment

Kudimahaan is a combination of two words: Kudi means “to drink” and mahaan means a “great soul”. Through the title, the director tries to convey the idea of his latest release.

Entertainment

Vijay Sivan and Chandini, who play the lead roles, deliver neat and convincing performances.

Entertainment

Kudimahaan revolves around Mathi (Vijay Sivan) who works for a private firm that has been entrusted by banks with the task of replenishing the cashboxes in their ATMs.

Entertainment

In the first half, the humour comes in from the antics of Mathi’s dad (played by Suresh Chakravarthy) and Mathi himself.

Entertainment

One day, Mathi (Vijay) and his team visit an ATM to fill out cash. However, his head starts spinning and he feels intoxicated.

Entertainment

He stashes bundles of ₹500 in a box that is meant to be filled with ₹100 notes.

Entertainment

The bank is furious with Mathi’s firm for losing a good eight-and-a-half lakh and the firm in turn, fires him.

Entertainment

Determined to get back the money from those who withdrew money from the ATM on the fateful day, Mathi sets out on a mission. What happens next is what Kudimahaan is all about.

Entertainment

Namo Narayanan, in particular, is outstanding. He is provided with ample support by Honest Raj and Kathiravan.

Entertainment

The movie also has neat music and visuals. Even a song at the bar is entertaining with a fine dance performance by Mani Chandra.

Kudimahaan is highly entertaining. Director Prakash delivers a winner that is bound to make you laugh your worries away.
