Jithan (spelt onscreen as Githan) is a 2005 Indian Tamil-language supernatural romantic thriller film directed by R. K. Vincent Selva.
One day, Surya gets frustrated as he is not being liked by anyone and cries loudly in a beach, where he finds a small idol of a god.
On returning home, Surya gets shocked knowing that he has really become invisible, while others can't see him but can only hear his voice.
A special police team led by Tamizharasu and his assistant Singampuli is appointed to trap the invisible man behind the bank robbery.
Thamizharasu overhears their conversation, understands Surya's good nature, and decides to trap him alive instead of killing.
[6] The film was announced in January 2004, with R. B. Choudary's son Ramesh signed to make his Tamil debut.
[10] The music from the film has several inspirations: the "Coimbatore" song reuses lyrics from "Kunguma Poove" from Maragatham (1959), the song "Ah Mudhal Akku" is a kuthu remix of "Koduthellam Koduthaan" from Padagotti (1964) and the background score was reused from Dhoom (2004).
[2][5] The song "Aa Mudhal Akku" was reused for the 2006 Telugu movie Khatarnak as "Doma Kudithe Chicken Guniya".
[citation needed] A reviewer from The Hindu wrote that "As the timid Surya, the new hero Ramesh does a good job.
... Sarath Kumar in a guest role lends dignity and power to the police officer he portrays".
[2] A reviewer from Sify wrote that "But every time you get involved, the script of director Vincent Selva disappears".
