Moustache Madhavan) is a 2004 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by S. Ramu.
The film stars debutant Ramana, Kutty Radhika of Iyarkai fame, Ilavarasu and S. V. Thangaraj.
After 15 years, the story shifts to Chennai, where we see Kannas (Thangaraj) and Kadalas (Ilavarasu) who are street boys.
Madhavan (Ramana) comes in search of Kannas and Kadalas because they went to prison for stealing the trumpet which was at stake.
While trying to take it out, the trumpet is taken by Rani (Kutti Radhika), the daughter of the circus owner Meesaikarar (Anandaraj).
All in the circus tent are shocked to hear it, and it is revealed that Madhavan is Meesaikarar's nephew.
While romancing, Madhavan plays the same music, and the doctor who was passing by hears it and comes with his daughters and sons-in-law.
The doctor shows the photograph of the dead Madhavan and the newspaper articles reporting the kidnap of Vignesh to the people in the circus tent.
Kannas and Kadalas bid a tearful farewell to Madhavan, saying that their place is in the streets and they leave.
Kannas and Kadalas then take their bag where they put waste materials and leave the place.
The film is directed by debutant S. Ramu, who apprenticed under directors S. A. Chandrasekhar, Vincent Selva, A. Venkatesh and Thaha.
The climax scene, where the eloped lovers are chased by the police and Anandraj's men, were shot in the Thalakkonam forest areas.
[4] S. R. Ashok Kumar of The Hindu said, "Producer S. V. Thangaraj should have refrained from acting, as he is yet to learn the basics.
Manivannan as the Kaboolivala does a neat job while Anantharaj proves that he is one of the good performers who can handle any role with confidence.
There is no need for `Kutty' Radhika, endowed with a charming face, to resort to heavy makeup which only produces the opposite effect.
