Sattapadi Kutram (English: Wrong By Law) is a 2011 Indian Tamil action drama film directed by S. A. Chandrasekhar starring Sathyaraj, Vikranth, Harish Kalyan in the lead roles. Bhanu, Komal Sharma, and Aishwarya Rajesh are the female leads, and A. Venkatesh, Suresh, and Radha Ravi play supporting roles.[1][2] The film dealt with various issues, including corruption in the higher echelons of the government, stashing of black money abroad by Indians, corruption in the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption, sexual exploits of godmen, travails of Indian fishermen and the Sri Lankan ethnic conflict.[3] Released on 25 March 2011 to negative reviews, it did poorly at the box-office.[4]
Plot[edit]
The film revolves around a man named Subash Chandrabose (Sathyaraj), whose life has been torn to shreds by corrupt men of the system. He faced the brunt of their anger when he dared to stand up against them. Now, his sole aim is to purge the system and the country of all corrupt evils. For that, he begins forging a small army of young people who are at a similar angst against the system or at least some people in it. How this army goes about in its task of cleansing the political and bureaucratic scenario forms the rest of Sattapadi Kuttram.

Critical reception[edit]
The New Indian Express wrote that "Appalling and ridiculous, these scenes only generate a lot of unintended humour."[6] Rohit Ramachandran of nowrunning.com gave it 2/5 stars stating that "Realism is Sattapadi Kuttram's least concern. Its main concern is entertainment factor. It doesn't qualify as a good film but it manages to hold your interest."[7] Behindwoods.com gave 1 on 5 and stated that the film was "Scathing political statement" and "The choice is whether you want to watch a reel account of all those scams and scandals being performed by actors when the real deal is being shown 24X7 on news channels. Make up your mind!".[4]
