Plot

[edit]

A violently depressed Madhan (Silambarasan) arrives at a hospital seeking psychiatric counselling, claiming to be emotionally affected by a love failure. This proves to be a ruse, however, and he craftily seduces the psychiatrist (Mandira Bedi). Subsequently, he kills her.

Madhan Kumar is shown to be an accounts manager who also studies music. A shy college student Mythili (Jyothika) has a nightmare of Madhan (whom she has never met before) raping her, and fears him when she meets him in real life. Intrigued by her behaviour, he approaches and befriends her. She soon realizes that he is by all accounts a good person, and starts to love him. However, every night Madhan stalks various women who are morally corrupt, seduces and kills them. Every time he embraces a woman with the intent of seducing her, his nose begins to bleed (a characteristic trait). Assistant Commissioner Deva (Atul Kulkarni) is assigned to bring the serial killer to justice.

Mythili eventually discovers proof that Madhan is the killer and hands him over to the police. Held in police custody, Madhan reveals that the killer is actually his younger brother Madhan Raj (also Silambarasan). Madhanraj's motives are explained in a flashback:

Madhan Raj, a simple village youth arrives in Coimbatore to attend college, sharing a room with an irreverent student Bobby (Santhanam). He is approached by his classmate Vaishnavi (Sindhu Tolani) and soon starts to love her unconditionally. His love is fueled by his innocence and ethical values. The relationship progresses as far as a marriage proposal; however, a squabble starts as Madhanraj suspects an affair between Vaishnavi and her classmate Seenu. He arrives at Vaishnavi's house to ask her forgiveness. By chance, Madhanraj looks into her bedroom window and finds her sleeping with Seenu. She also overhears her saying that she never loved him, and merely accepted his proposal to divert his suspicion of her affair.

Heartbroken and revolted, Madhanraj confronts her, saying he knows the truth. When she denies it, he lashes out and accidentally kills her. Initially he grieves over his act, but realizes that she deserved it for cheating, and intentionally kills Seenu as well. He arrives at his brother Madhan Kumar's house and reveals his crime. He also reveals that he will further continue his killing spree and murder all unfaithful women. Madhan Kumar looks on helpless as Madhanraj dons the identity of "Manmadhan" (cupid) and flees into the night.

Madhan Kumar ends his flashback, and is released. Mythili apologizes for believing him to be a killer, and admits that she loves him deeply. However, the actual events that spurred the birth of Manmadhan are revealed (only to the audience):

After killing Vaishnavi and Seenu, Madhanraj was, in fact, remorseful and depressed over the events that led to this. He confesses to his brother and soon afterwards, locks himself in his room and prepares to commit suicide. Madhan Kumar watches horrified and helpless, as his younger brother hangs himself and loses his life. Madhan Kumar enters the room and embraces his brother's corpse, and suffers a nosebleed. He swears to avenge his brother's death by killing unfaithful women everywhere; thus it was Madhan Kumar himself who became Manmadhan. It is hinted that his exploits will continue. This can be seen in a short scene from Venkat Prabhu's 2010 comedy film Goa, where Simbu appears in the epilogue, talking to Suhasini (Sneha), a corrupt businesswoman. His nose bleeds as he hugs her, revealing the fact that he is Manmadhan and he still continues to hunt down girls who are bad.

[edit]Plot

Siva (Dhanush) is a happy-go-lucky young boy in a large family. The head of this family are 3 older brothers. One of the brothers, is the father of Siva. Siva studies from a hostel away from home. He is always helpful and always comes in when others need him. In one of his obliging acts he helps his cousin Kalpana (shriya) to elope with her lover against the family's choice. This aggravates the family and they are asked to forget all about him.

On another occasion, he is asked to help a friend in a love marriage. Siva kidnaps Pooja (Genelia D'Souza) on a mistaken identity from the marriage hall. When Pooja is kidnapped, her uncles (both are from the Gounder community) and their henchmen follow them. Pooja while on the run tells Siva that she wasn’t interested in the wedding and her uncles are forcing her marriage with one of their sons only to seize her properties. When Siva went to kidnap her, she was thinking of how to run away from this marriage. While escaping from Pooja's uncles, Siva brings Pooja to his house under a false identity. Soon, Siva falls in love with Pooja and determines to marry her only with the consent of all the members of both families. When Siva's family along with Pooja visit a temple, her uncle kidnaps her and locks her away in his house. To save Pooja, Siva joins Emotional Ekambaram (Vivek) — the auditor of Pooja's uncles — as an assistant. He makes Ekambaram believe that he is capable of creating new worlds with characters of their own. Ekambaram then "creates" two American billionaires and with the help of Siva, convinces the two uncles to marry their sons to the daughters of these billionaires. To prove that they are real and not merely the figment of Ekambaram's imagination, Siva asks his parents and his uncles and aunts to play the role. They manage to win the Gounders' hearts and bring about a change in their behaviour.

Then, with the consent of all the family members Siva marries Pooja.

Sathi Leelavathi

Sathi Leelavathi

Sathi Leelavathi (Tamil: சதிலீலாவதி) is a 1995 Tamil comedy film written and directed by Balu Mahendra. The film is produced by Kamal Haasan, with story by Ananthu and dialogues by Crazy Mohan with Ilaiyaraja as music composer. The film features Kamal Haasan alongside Ramesh Aravind, Kalpana, Heera and Kovai Sarala in the lead roles.

Plot

[edit]

Arun (Ramesh Arvind) is married to Leelavathi (Kalpana) in a resigned marriage. He is embarrassed by his wife's plain looks and her weight. When he meets Priya (Heera Rajagopal)- a real estate agent, he omits to tell her he is married and has an affair with her.

When he takes Priya with him on a vacation to Bangalore, he bumps into his old friend Dr. Sakthivel Gounder (Kamal Haasan)- an orthopedic surgeon from Coimbatore who is also in Bangalore with his wife Palani (Kovai Sarala) and his son Anand - travelling with him in the same flight and even staying in the same hotel. Sakthivel is called to Arun's room in the night - as Arun has slipped his disc and the hotel doctor is unavailable - and bumps into Priya thus finding out about the affair.

After returning to Chennai, Priya finds out that Arun is married but decides to continue with him when Arun says he was forced into marriage and promises to divorce his wife. When Arun's wife Leelavathi discovers Arun's affair, she has a huge showdown which leads to Arun leaving the house.

Thus begins the titular action of 'Sathi' meaning to concoct plans for an enemy's downfall. Leelavathi's various methods of making her husband understand the true values of life, marriage and fidelity, with the hilarious aid of Dr Sakthivel Gounder forms the crux of the story.

Interestingly, the word 'Sathi' is sometimes used in the hindu religion to describe a devoted wife.
