'''''Aandavan Kattalai''''' ({{translation|God's command}}) is a 2016 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[satire (film and television)|satirical]] [[comedy drama]] film directed and co-written by [[M. Manikandan]]. The film stars [[Vijay Sethupathi]] and [[Ritika Singh]], with [[Pooja Devariya]], [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]] and [[Yogi Babu]] amongst others in supporting roles. It narrates the struggles of a man from interior [[Tamil Nadu]] to acquire documents to travel to London.

Produced by [[G. N. Anbu Chezhiyan]] and featuring music by [[K (composer)|K]], the film was shot between March and July 2016. It was released on 23 September the same year. The film received positive reviews from critics and became a commercial success, winning two [[Ananda Vikatan Cinema Awards]]: Best Comedy Actor (Yogi Babu) and Best Comedy Actress ([[Vinodhini Vaidyanathan]]). It was remade in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] as ''[[London Babulu]]'' (2017) and in [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] as ''[[Shubh Yatra]]'' (2023).

== Plot ==
Gandhi Arumugam, an accountant from a village near [[Madurai]], leaves for [[Chennai]] with his best friend Muthupandi "Pandi" Selvam, to acquire the documents necessary for going to London, where they plan to make money to pay off their debts. They approach two middlemen to help them get the passport and British tourist visa necessary. The middlemen claim that the [[Deputy High Commission of the United Kingdom, Chennai|British Deputy High Commission]] would prefer to give tourist visas to those who are already married, so the duo are forced to add their "wife's" name while applying for the passport, with Gandhi adding the name Karmeghakuzhali, following a suggestion from their real estate broker, Murugesan. However, Gandhi's visa application is rejected, forcing him to remain in Chennai and take up a job as an accountant with a theatrical troupe, while Pandi passes his visa interview and leaves for London with the help of a passport officer, Kumar.

With his hard work and sincerity, Gandhi soon becomes his employer's favourite employee and is made to act in his plays. Eventually, the theatrical troupe are invited to perform in London, leaving Gandhi in a bind as he now needs to have his "wife's" name removed from his passport. He learns that the only way to do so is to divorce his "wife", but for that, he needs to find a woman who has the name Karmeghakuzhali. He manages to track down Karmeghakuzhali, a television journalist, and tries to convince her to act as his wife and "divorce" him. He also feigns muteness. Initially, she refuses, but she soon gives Gandhi the necessary documents to "divorce" her, pitying him. However, since both husband and wife need to be present at court at the time of divorce, Gandhi convinces Aarthi, an actress from his theatrical troupe, to act as Karmeghakuzhali at the court. But at the time of the divorce hearing, Aarthi disappears to the toilet, forcing a reluctant Karmeghakuzhali, who is present at the court, to take part in the divorce hearing. The subsequent events at the divorce hearing prove humiliating for Karmeghakuzhali, and she also learns that Gandhi's muteness is feigned. Hence, she bitterly leaves the court with no "divorce" granted.

Later, Gandhi learns that Pandi was deported upon arrival in London by immigration officials for giving false information and address verification while obtaining his passport, and he too finds himself in the dock for doing the same. However, he shows his and Pandi's original voter ID cards to the immigration officials, getting them released, while the middlemen are arrested. Pandi reveals he was sent to Sri Lanka and tortured by prison officials after he tried to seek asylum in London as a [[British Sri Lankans|Sri Lankan refugee]], and humiliated by the recent events, he returns to his village.

Gandhi goes to the Regional Passport Office in Chennai and admits his crime to the Regional Passport Officer. The passport officer asks him to pay a fine of {{INRConvert|1.3|k|year=2016}} to get Karmeghakuzhali's name removed from his passport. But in a last-minute decision, Gandhi chooses not to do so and instead proposes marriage to Karmeghakuzhali, who is initially taken aback but agrees. He soon obtains a British visa and leaves for London with the rest of the theatrical troupe.

=== Critical reception ===
[[Baradwaj Rangan]] gave ''Aandavan Kattalai'' a positive review for ''[[The Hindu]]'', and noted that it was "yet another marvellous comedy of desperation from Manikandan". The critic added that "Manikandan and his writing team (Arul Chezhiyan, Anucharan) should hold classes for other Tamil filmmakers who want the story-screenplay-dialogue credit but reveal little understanding of these elements" as "everything in ''Aandavan Kattalai'' is there for a reason".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Rangan |first=Baradwaj |author-link=Baradwaj Rangan |date=23 September 2016 |title=Aandavan Kattalai: My dear visa |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Aandavan-Kattalai-My-dear-visa/article14649325.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250627072427/https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/Aandavan-Kattalai-My-dear-visa/article14649325.ece |archive-date=27 June 2025 |access-date=27 June 2025 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref> M. Suganth of ''[[The Times of India]]'' wrote, "Just like how Manikandan's ''Kaaka Muttai'' and ''Kutramme Thandanai'' refrained from finger-pointing and sermonising, ''Aandavan Kattalai'', too, is far from being preachy, despite involving a subject that offer plenty of targets to take pot-shots at" and gave the film a high rating of three-and-a-half out of five stars.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Suganth |first=M |date=23 September 2016 |title=Aandavan Kattalai Movie Review |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Aandavan-Kattalai/movie-review/54482105.cms |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160928013136/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/tamil/movie-reviews/Aandavan-Kattalai/movie-review/54482105.cms |archive-date=28 September 2016 |access-date=19 December 2016 |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref>
