Kasi Yathirai (transl. Pilgrimage to Kasi) is a 1973 Indian Tamil language comedy film, directed by S. P. Muthuraman and produced by S. S. Sethuraman under Sri Devi Cine Tone. The film's script was written by V. C. Guhanathan. Soundtrack was composed by Shankar–Ganesh. The film stars V. K. Ramasamy, Srikanth and Suruli Rajan with Kumari Padmini, Jaya, Manorama (in dual role), M. R. R. Vasu and Cho Ramaswamy in supporting roles.[1] Kamal Haasan worked under Thangappan as his dance assistant in this movie.[1]

Plot[edit]

Paramasivam Pillai (V. K. Ramasamy) is an unmarried Hanuman devotee that insists on his niece Uma (Kumari Padmini) and nephew Ramu (Srikanth) also remaining unmarried. Ramu is in love with Seetha (Jaya) but is too cowed by his uncle to marry her. His friend Shankar (Suruli Rajan) enters their home posing as a Hanuman devotee to try to change Paramasivam's mind. A oddball cast of characters, including drama actress Andal (Manorama), her brother Mayandi (M. R. R. Vasu), Jaya's uncle Chokkalingam (Cho Ramaswamy) and more get pulled into Shankar's plans creating comedic chaos.
