'''''Kasethan Kadavulada''''' ({{Translation|Only money is God}}) is a 1972 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language [[Heist film|heist]] [[comedy film]] written and directed by [[Chithralaya Gopu]]. The film stars [[R. Muthuraman|Muthuraman]] and [[Lakshmi (actress)|Lakshmi]], with [[M. R. R. Vasu]], [[Thengai Srinivasan]], [[Srikanth (actor, born 1940)|Srikanth]], [[Vennira Aadai Moorthy|Moorthy]], [[Manorama (Tamil actress)|Manorama]], [[Rama Prabha]] and [[Jayakumari]] in supporting roles. It focuses on a young man (Muthuraman) collaborating with his cousin (Srikanth) and friend (Srinivasan) to steal money from his stingy stepmother (Manorama).

''Kasethan Kadavulada'', based on Gopu's play of the same name is the directorial debut of Gopu, and was produced by [[AVM Productions]]. Muthuraman and Moorthy reprise their roles from the play. The music was composed by [[M. S. Viswanathan]], cinematography was handled by K. S. Bhaskar, and editing by R. G. Gopu.

''Kasethan Kadavulada'' was released on 19 May 1972. The film became a commercial success, with Srinivasan's role as a fake [[Godman (India)|godman]] becoming immensely popular. A remake with the [[Kasethan Kadavulada (2023 film)|same name]] was released in 2023.

== Plot ==
Lakshmi is a dominating woman who has complete control over her husband Sivaswamy's money and treats him with utter contempt. When Ramu, Sivaswamy's son from his first wife, needs {{INRConvert|3000|year=1972}} for his sister's husband, the miserly Lakshmi refuses outright. Ramu and his cousin Mali hatch a plan with their tea shop friend Appaswamy, who disguises himself as a [[Godman (India)|godman]] named Badrinath Swamy Sukranada, to access Lakshmi's locker and steal {{INR}}50,000.

Meanwhile, Rama, an orphan, has only one friend—Iruthayam, a doctor at a mental hospital. When Rama asks for a conduct certificate to apply for a job as Lakshmi's secretary, Iruthayam makes a blunder and gives her the certificate of another girl named Rama—who is mentally unstable.

[[Deputy superintendent of police|DSP]] Paramantham, who had earlier arrested Appaswamy, comes to meet the supposed godman. Appaswamy manages to convince him not to take up any cases for the time being. Things take a turn when Rama sees Appaswamy without his beard but, to his surprise, does not suspect anything. Soon, a telegram arrives announcing that the real Badrinath Swamy Sukranada will be arriving in two days. This puts pressure on Appaswamy to complete the theft before then.

Meanwhile, Lakshmi's brother Mani wants to buy jewellery for his girlfriend Latha, but gets exposed by her brother. In need of money, Mani steals ₹5,001 that Lakshmi had donated to Appaswamy, but Rama catches him red-handed.

Soon, the sane Rama joins Lakshmi's household as a secretary. Despite the odd conduct certificate that claims Rama turns violent if denied what she wants, Lakshmi decides to keep her on. Rama and Ramu begin to fall in love. Coincidentally, the mentally unstable Rama and her father also land up at the same house. Matters get more tangled when her father overhears the heist plan. The unstable Rama, in a fit of anger, attacks Appaswamy. A secret understanding is struck: Ramu and Appaswamy will not reveal that the sane Rama is actually insane, and in return, the father will not expose the robbery plan.

Lakshmi, trusting the godman, shows Appaswamy her hidden stash and how to access it. That night, Appaswamy and Ramu carry out the heist and hide the money in a flower pot. But things unravel when the insane Rama's father, the sane Rama, and Mani all stumble upon the stash. Mani throws the cash to Latha's brother, but once again Rama catches him red-handed. The money ends up inside Latha's brother's coat.

To prove the other Rama is insane, the sane Rama cleverly tells her the coat would look nice on her. When Latha's brother refuses to part with it, the unstable Rama creates a scene, exposing her condition. With all confusions cleared, Lakshmi calms down and agrees to Ramu and the sane Rama's marriage.

Srinivasan who was pleased did not want the lead actor Muthuraman to misunderstand so he and Gopu went to Muthuraman and explained that it was the role that became popular and even apologised to Muthuraman who smiled it away.<ref name="muthu" /><ref>{{Cite news |last=Raman |first=Mohan V. |author-link=Mohan Raman |date=20 October 2012 |title=He walked tall in tinsel town |url=http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/he-walked-tall-in-tinsel-town/article4016391.ece |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161130005021/http://www.thehindu.com/features/cinema/he-walked-tall-in-tinsel-town/article4016391.ece |archive-date=30 November 2016 |access-date=20 April 2018 |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=கமல்குமார் |date=9 November 2018 |title=கதாநாயகனுக்கு நோ கட் அவுட், காமெடியனுக்கு 16 அடி கட் அவுட்!!! 1970 களிலேயே கலக்கிய 'தேங்காய்' சீனிவாசன் |url=https://www.nakkheeran.in/special-articles/special-article/thengai-srinivasan |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20181121100006/https://www.nakkheeran.in/special-articles/special-article/thengai-srinivasan |archive-date=21 November 2018 |access-date=6 April 2020 |work=[[Nakkheeran]] |language=ta}}</ref> This cut-out created controversy when a journalist wrote that Srinivasan's look from the film resembled religious singer [[Pithukuli Murugadas]], which led Murugadas to call Gopu and express his dissatisfaction, but Gopu asked him to watch the film to learn the truth; he did so and was impressed with it.<ref name="muthu" /> The film was a commercial success, and Gopu received more film offers to work as both director and writer.<ref name="LookingBack" /> Historian [[Randor Guy]] attributed the success to "the excellent comedy sequences, humorous dialogue, fine direction of Chitralaya Gopu and excellent performances".<ref name="BFTP" />
