Plot

Kumar (G. V. Prakash Kumar) is to get married in a couple of days, but his fiancé Priya (Nikki Galrani) is upset as his ex-girlfriend Nancy (Anandhi) is still stalking him. Nancy sends him flowers and sentimental messages, and Priya, in turn, makes Kumar’s life hell. Kumar wants to get away from it all by spending a day with his friends at Pondicherry celebrating his bachelor party. After a night of partying by the beach, Kumar and his friend Balaji (RJ Balaji) attempt to return to Chennai the next morning, only to get caught on route by three corrupt policemen: Manimaaran (Prakash Raj), Mayilsamy (Robo Shankar), and Madaswamy (Singampuli). They find a huge stock of alcohol in the trunk of their car and refuse to let them go. With no money to pay the bribe, Kumar and Balaji try to escape in their car. However, they are chased down, threatened, and given an ultimatum.

Cast

Production

Director M. Rajesh and actor-composer G. V. Prakash Kumar announced that they would collaborate for a new comedy film during early November 2015, after the director had been impressed with the actor's performance in Trisha Illana Nayanthara (2015).[4][5] Titled Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru after a dialogue from Selvaraghavan's Pudhupettai (2006),[6] Rajesh signed on actresses Nikki Galrani and Avika Gor to play the film's leading female roles after Priya Anand and Keerthy Suresh were linked to the project.[7] T. Siva agreed to produce the film, while actors RJ Balaji and Prakash Raj joined the cast of the film in early 2016.[2]

Production began for the film at Sathyam Cinemas during early March 2016, before the team shifted to film scenes in Pondicherry. G. V. Prakash Kumar and RJ Balaji suffered injuries following a car accident during the making of the film in late March 2016.[8][1] In May 2016, Rajesh chose to replace Avika Gor with Anandhi, after the actress had difficulties filming scenes in the Tamil language.[9]

Release and reception

The film opened to mixed reviews on 18 November 2016 and had an average run at the box office. The critic from The Hindu wrote it is "Rajesh’s seventh film and it’s amusing to see how little his cinema has evolved", while Rediff.com's critic stated that "Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru is a waste of time" and that the film "was plain annoying".[10][11] Likewise, Behindwoods.com wrote "on the whole, Rajesh has followed his signature template, which looks very much usual and ordinary" and the critics from the New Indian Express suggested "if you decide to sit this one out, don’t worry you are not missing out on a lot".[12][13] In contrast, a reviewer from Sify.com noted "To conclude, Kadavul Irukaan Kumaru is a watchable comedy entertainer and it might entertain if you don't worry much about logical loopholes and some blatant comedy sequences".[14]
