Kuthu (transl. Punch) is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language masala film directed by A. Venkatesh, starring Silambarasan and Ramya in the lead roles. It is a remake of the Telugu film Dil which starred Nitin and Neha Bamb.[1] The music was composed by Srikanth Deva.[2] Released on 14 April 2004, it was a Super hit.[3]
Plot[edit]
Gurumoorthy "Guru" (Silambarasan) is a sociable boy from a middle-class family. He lives with his parents- a doting mother and a strict but well-meaning father- and playful maternal uncle. He enrolls at the College of Arts and Sciences, and falls in love with Anjali (Ramya), a fellow student, who doesn't reciprocate his affections.
Anjali's father is the rich and powerful gangster Veerabahu (Kalabhavan Mani), who is extremely protective of his daughter to the point that he brutally beats up a boy at a temple for brushing past her by accident. A misunderstanding results in Guru being beaten up by Veerabahu's men, who suspect that him and Anjali are lovers. After this, he vows to win Anjali's love for real. In due course, she falls in love with him too. How the lovers stand strong in the face of Veerabahu's increasingly desperate attempts to separate them forms the rest of the story.
