Bloody Beggar is a 2024 Indian Tamil-language black comedy drama film directed by debutant Sivabalan Muthukumar and produced by Nelson Dilipkumar under Filament Pictures, in their maiden production venture.

The film stars Kavin in the lead role, alongside Radha Ravi, Redin Kingsley, Padam Venu Kumar, Prudhvi Raj, Saleema, Priyadharshini Rajkumar, Sunil Sukhada and T. M. Karthik.

Bloody Beggar released worldwide on 31 October 2024 in theatres, coinciding with Diwali, to mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised its visuals, narration, soundtrack and cast performances (especially Kavin) but the pacing, writing, and black comedy received polarizing response.

Camera rolls to Kavin, who plays as a lazy but witty beggar, who spends his days fooling people by employing various acts such as blind, disabled, limb-less etc., and successfully extorting money from them via their sympathy.

[6][7] Kavin who had earlier worked as an associate to Nelson in films like Doctor (2021) and Beast (2022) would be portraying the role of a beggar[8][9] alongside an ensemble cast consisting of Maruthi Prakashraj, Sunil Sukhada, T. M. Karthik, Padam Venu Kumar, Arshad, Priyadarshini Rajkumar, Miss Saleema, Akshaya Hariharan, Anarkali Nazar,[10] Dhivya Vikram, Tanuja Madhurapantula, Rohit Denis, Vidyuth Ravi and Mohammed Bilal was released through a promotional video.

Harshini SV of The Times of India gave 3/5 stars and wrote, "So even between some lags and a few jokes that don't land, Sivabalan's unique voice and Kavin's ambition to try something different echo strongly".

[24] Avinash Ramachandran of The Indian Express gave 3/5 stars and wrote "Bloody Beggar has the potential to draw you in with its quirks even when it leaves you grasping for a breather amidst all the cacophony and chaos.

"[29] Prashanth Vallavan of The New Indian Express wrote "The film starts off like a deceptively simple story, almost as if it has nothing to offer except for humour, [...] we realise that Bloody Beggar is rich of heart and storytelling.
