'''''Dindigul Sarathy''''' is a 2008 Indian [[Tamil language]] [[drama film]] directed by Siva Sanmukam, who earlier directed ''[[Thagapansamy]]''. The film stars [[Karunas]], [[Karthika Mathew|Karthika]], and [[Saranya Ponvannan]], while [[Nassar (actor)|Nassar]], [[M. S. Baskar]], [[Livingston (actor)|Livingston]], and [[Chitti Babu (actor)|Chitti Babu]] play supporting roles.<ref name="mt" /> The film has cinematography by S. Thaj and music by [[Dhina]]. The film released on 19 December 2008. It is a remake of the [[Malayalam]] film ''[[Vadakkunokkiyantram]]'' (1989).

==Plot==
The story revolves around an insecure [[teetotaling|teetotaler]] named Sarathy ([[Karunas]]), who feels bad due to his dark skin (his wife Vasanthi ([[Karthika Mathew|Karthika]]) is fairer than him), which is often the butt of many jokes. Because Sarathy feels inferior to Vasanthi, he begins to suspect her of [[infidelity]] and thinks that she will one day elope with a lover. After a misunderstanding, Sarathy and his mother Saradha ([[Saranya Ponvannan|Saranya]]) are estranged, which further weakens the bond between him and Vasanthi. How Sarathy resolves his issues and gets back together with Vasanthi forms the rest of the story.

==Critical reception==
''Behindwoods'' noted "Overall, Dindigul Sarathy is a product that comes out only once. Its distinctness is its defining strength, but it has got its commercial limitations at the box office".<ref>http://behindwoods.com/tamil-movie-reviews/reviews-2/dindigul-sarathy-19-12-08.html</ref> ''Indiaglitz'' noted "Due credit should be given to director Shivashanmugham, who has made necessary changes in the script to suit the Tamil audience. Though the first half has shades of the original, the latter half is different and oozes with nativity".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/dindukal-sarathy-tamil-movie-review-10372.html|title=Dindukal Sarathy review. Dindukal Sarathy Tamil movie review, story, rating}}</ref> ''Hindu'' wrote "Borrowed from a Malayalam film, director Sivashanmugan makes a few small and suitable changes to the storyline for his Tamil venture".<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-features/tp-cinemaplus/comic-tale-about-complexion-dindigul-sarathy/article3023685.ece|title=Comic tale about complexion -- Dindigul Sarathy|newspaper=The Hindu|date=26 December 2008}}</ref>
