Synopsis
Katta Panchayathu is a 1996 Indian film directed by VK Ramaswamy and starring Karthik and Kanaka.
The movie tells the story of Shenbagam, a Koothu actress living in a remote village with her sister Mallika. The village is led by Ponnazhagi Naachiyar, who has two sons: Kathirvel and Chinnadurai. A poor woman claims that she is pregnant with Sidambaram's child, leading to controversy at the village court.
Karthik plays a do-gooder from outside the village who emerges as a potential candidate for the village head position. The film follows a classic tale of good vs. evil, with Karthik ultimately emerging victorious.
The movie features traditional garb and showcases Karthik's versatility as an actor. Kanaka has limited screen time, appearing only for two dances and some emotional scenes. Senthil Goundarmani plays a comedic role, while Srividya plays the village head.
Katta Panchayathu was released on June 7, 1996, and is considered a nice watchable film with Karthik's performance being a highlight.
