Kandha Kadamba Kathir Vela is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language comedy film written and directed by Rama Narayanan.
The film stars Latha as Parvathi, a rich and arrogant woman who leads her life with her three sons - Kandha (Prabhu), Kadamba (S. Ve. Shekher) and Kathirvela (Vivek).
Parvathi also had a daughter named Mallika (Bhuvaneswari) who is married to Vadivelan (Vadivelu), a barber.
The sons are in love with girls from an economically backward community, prompting Vadivelan to set a plan to get them married against Parvathi's wishes.
Kandha is married to Rupini (Roja), Kadamba to Rohini (Kovai Sarala) and Kathir to Ragini (Nirosha).
Parvathi plans to separate her sons from their wives by staging a drama, but her plan backfires when the maid appointed by Parvathi threatens her and demands a sum of Rs. 5 crores.
The film is loosely based on Poova Thalaiya (1969) and was remade in Kannada as Namma Samsara Ananda Sagara (2001).
