The film opens with Kinathadi Kaali ([[Ramya Krishnan]]) establishing her powers with a couple of sequences, including reducing a screen scorcher ([[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]]) to a pale shadow. Cut to the present, where Priya (Geethika) is the intelligent daughter of Pichumani ([[Ramji (actor)|Ramji]]) and Gayathri ([[Sangeetha Krish|Sangeetha]]), who treat her like the apple of their eyes. Soon, she is possessed by the spirit of Savithri ([[Kaveri (actress)|Kaveri]]), who was ditched by her fiancé Nanjappan ([[Riyaz Khan]]). With the help of Kaali, it is the now the turn of Savithri and her brother Karuppu ([[Ganja Karuppu]]) to take revenge. How they punish Nanjappan and his sorcerer friend Mandiramoorthy ([[Shafi (actor)|Shafi]]) is the rest of the story.

Kutti Pisasu in Tamil, Bombat Car in Kannada and Cara Majaka in Telugu is a 2010 Indian multilingual fantasy film written and directed by Rama Narayanan,[1] who returns after an eight-year sabbatical.[2] The film stars Baby Geethika, Ramji, Rajiv Kanakala, Ravishankar Gowda, Sangeetha, Mithila Naik, and Ramya Krishnan, while Riyaz Khan, Shafi, Ganja Karuppu, and Nassar play supporting roles.[3] Each version has a slightly different supporting cast.[4] The Tamil version was dubbed in Hindi as Magic Robot and in Bengali as Robot - The Magic Car.

Plot[edit | edit source]

The film opens with Kaali / Kalika (Ramya Krishnan) establishing her powers with a couple of sequences, including reducing a screen scorcher (Nassar) to a pale shadow. Cut to the present, where Priya / Durga (Geethika) is the intelligent daughter of Ramji / Ravishankar Gowda / Rajiv Kanakala and Gayathri (Sangeetha), who treat her like the apple of their eyes. Soon, she is possessed by the spirit of Savithri (Kaveri / Mithila Naik), who was ditched by her fiancé Nanjappan / Mahendra (Riyaz Khan). With the help of Kaali, it is the now the turn of Savithri and her brother (Ganja Karuppu / Sharan / Ali) to take revenge. How they punish Nanjappan / Mahendra and his sorcerer friend (Shafi) is the rest of the story.

Critical reception[edit | edit source]

Tamil version

Sify wrote "The special effects and graphics are just ok; otherwise there is nothing in the film. Ramanarayanan has tried to mix witchcraft, sorcery, crass comedy with modern graphics borrowed from films like ?The Transformer? and ?The Car?. It is meant strictly for the consumption of interior Tamil Nadu audiences."[13] The Times of India wrote "This is strictly for the masses, and although may turn out to be cotton candy for mothers and kids, you can't help feeling that Rama Narayanan has been away from direction for too long. It shows."[7] Rediff wrote "Story-wise, there's no great variation from predecessors like all the Amma movies but this one comes with an interesting ghost-twist. On the flip side, the production values are tacky, the acting juvenile and the screenplay downright silly."[14] The Hindu wrote "There's little to say in terms of story or production value. Strange, considering director Rama. Narayanan is a veteran in children's and godly movies, even if they are terribly over-the-top!".[15]
