Plot[edit]

Muthu is a kind-hearted man working in the zamin of Sivakami Ammal taking care of the chariot and the horses used by her son Raja Malayasimman. Muthu is very loyal to the zamin family and in the meantime, Muthu and Raja encounter Ranganayaki, a stage artist during their visit to a show and Raja immediately falls in love with Ranganayaki. Ambalathar is the maternal uncle of Raja and he has plans of getting his daughter Padmini married to Raja.

Ranganayaki’s drama troupe faces financial issues and Raja offers jobs to the entire troupe in his zamin. Now Muthu and Ranganayaki fall in love with each other and Sivakami gets to know about this. Kaali is a spy for Ambalathar working in the zamin and keeps informing him about the happenings in the zamin. Kaali lies to Raja that Muthu is forcing Ranganayaki to marry him. This angers Raja and he has Kaali beat up Muthu, then orders him to leave the zamin. Sivakami gets angry on hearing about her son’s behaviour and informs him the truth that both Muthu and Ranganayaki are in love which shocks Raja. She reveals that Muthu is the real proprietor of Sivakami and Raja's property.

The story moves to a flashback where it is shown that Muthu’s father is the zamindar and real owner of all the properties. Rajasekhar is the cousin of zamindar. Sivakami is married to Rajasekhar and their son Raja is adopted by the zamindar as he did not have children. Later the zamindar’s wife gives birth to a child and dies. Rajasekhar and Ambalathar plan to grab the zamindar’s properties by forging false documents. The zamindar on knowing these worries about the nature of people around him and decides to give all the properties to Rajasekhar and his family and also to leave the place along with his son Muthu. But Sivakami pleads for guilty of her husband and asks to at least give his son so that she will raise him. The zamindar hands over Muthu to Sivakami but says that he should be brought up as an ordinary man, not as a zamindar, and Sivakami agrees. Rajasekhar feels bad about his cruel activities and upon seeing the generous behaviour of the zamindar, commits suicide. The zamindar leaves the place and Sivakami moves to another town. She informs everyone that the zamindar’s child is dead as she has been asked to raise the child as a normal man by the zamindar.

Sivakami says that the zamindar currently lives in a nearby place as a nomad and Raja, realising his mistake, decides to go and meet zamindar and bring him back. Kaali overhears the conversation made between Sivakami and Raja and informs to Ambalathar. Now Ambalathar decides to murder Raja and frame Muthu so that he can take over all the zamin properties. But he is saved by zamindar and is married to Padmini. Finally, Muthu comes to know all the truth and wishes to see his father but he leaves the place before Muthu could reach there. Muthu becomes the new zamindar, but prefers to see himself as a worker.

Production[edit]

Muthu is a remake of the 1994 Malayalam-language film Thenmavin Kombath.^[5] It was directed by K. S. Ravikumar, who also wrote the screenplay.^[2] Although the film was produced by K. Balachander's company Kavithalayaa Productions,^[6] Balachander was not credited as producer; Rajam Balachander and Pushpa Kandaswamy were.^[2]Jayaram was offered a role but declined since it involved slapping Rajinikanth; the role went to Sarath Babu. Years later Jayaram recalled, 'if I had slapped Rajni in Muthu, his fans would have taken me apart!'^[7] Shooting locations included Kerala,^[4] and the Lalitha Mahal in Mysore.^[8][9]

Themes[edit]

Numerous critics have felt that the dialogue 'Naan eppo varuven, epdi varuvennu yarukkum theriyathu. Aana vara vendiya nerathula correcta vandhuduven' (Nobody knows when or how I will come, but I will come when the time is right) hinted at Rajinikanth's political aspirations.^[10][11][12] Writing for Mint, Shoba Narayan said that Rajinikanth's heroines play to every traditional stereotype, beginning with their names, and cited Ranganayaki (Meena's character) as an example, adding, 'The names set the tone for the character.'^[13]

Release and reception[edit]

Muthu was released on 23 October 1995, during Diwali day.^[14] The film was a blockbuster and completed a 175-day run at the box office. It was dubbed into Telugu under the same title. It was also dubbed in Hindi as Muthu Maharaja and was distributed by Eros Labs.

Japan[edit]

In 1996, Japanese film critic Jun Edoki discovered the film at a video shop in Singapore's Little India. He said, '[Muthu] was absolutely fascinating—even without subtitles'. He then approached several Japanese distributors to release the film in Japan, before Xanadeux eventually agreed to release it.^[15] In 1998, the film was dubbed in Japanese, by the distributor Xanadeux. It was given the Japanese title Muthu Odoru Maharaja (ムトゥ 踊るマハラジャ), which means Muthu – The Dancing Maharaja.^[16]

It initially had a limited release on 13 June 1998 at Cinema Rise in Tokyo's Shibuya district, where it completed a 23-week run, selling 127,000 tickets and grossing ¥208 million ($1.7 million). It was the theatre's highest-grossing film of 1998, with distributor Atsushi Ichikawa describing it as 'the 'Titanic' of the art theaters'.^[15] It then received a nationwide release across 100 theatres,^[17] drawing nearly 500,000 audiences^[15] and grossing ¥400 million,^[17] which was equivalent to $3,055,651^[18] (₹126,073,105)^[19] in 1998, or $4.7 million (₹425 million) adjusted for inflation.

Prior to Muthu, the previous highest-grossing Indian film in the country was the Shah Rukh Khan starring Bollywood film, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman (1992), which released in Japan in 1997. Muthu surpassed it to become the most successful Indian film in Japan, as well as becoming 1998's top film in the category of independent “first-run show” theatres. The success of Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and especially Muthu sparked a short-lived boom of Indian films released in Japan, up until 1999.^[20]Muthu was also the second highest-grossing 1995 Indian film overseas, behind only another Shah Rukh Khan starring Bollywood film, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.^[21]Muthu remains the highest-grossing Indian film in Japan, as of November 2018.^[17]

Former Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh made a special note about the reach of this film among the Japanese in his speech at the National Diet of Japan on 14 December 2006.^[22][23] A 4Kremaster of the film was released in Japan on 23 November 2018.^[17]
