**Chennai, India:** Debutant director Sivabalan Muthukumar’s “Bloody Beggar” has taken Tamil cinema by storm, offering a fresh and bizarre take on the classic joint family drama. The film, a comedic thriller in the vein of “Knives Out,” weaves together a complex web of characters, secrets, and a touch of the supernatural.
The story unfolds from the perspective of two seemingly unconnected individuals: a streetwise beggar named Beggar (played by Kavin) and the deceased, celebrated actor Chandrabose (Radha Ravi). Beggar, living a precarious life, finds himself inexplicably trapped inside Chandrabose’s opulent mansion, becoming entangled in a family feud over the actor’s vast inheritance.
Chandrabose’s family, led by his four children, are revealed to be spoiled and self-centered. They are shocked to discover their father left most of his wealth to a long-lost son, who unfortunately gets killed off by a conniving lawyer (Sunil Sukhada). This lawyer, looking for a scapegoat, stumbles upon Beggar, unknowingly creating a connection between two vastly different worlds.
“Bloody Beggar” keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its intricate storyline, quirky characters, and recurring motifs that contribute to the film’s mystery. Arshad, known for his role in “Jailer,” delivers comedic gold as one of Chandrabose’s grandsons, Vasan, who embodies his grandfather’s theatrical presence. The film also features strong performances from Kavin, whose portrayal of Beggar seamlessly shifts between comedic and poignant moments.
“Bloody Beggar” is not simply a comedy; it delves into themes of family, greed, and societal disparities. The film’s charm lies in its ability to balance humor with thoughtful social commentary, creating a unique and captivating experience for viewers.
Currently running in theatres, “Bloody Beggar” is proving to be a crowd-pleaser, offering a fresh and entertaining take on the Tamil film landscape.
