Muhammad bin Tughluq is a 1968 Indian Tamil-language political satire play written by Cho Ramaswamy.

Cho also plays the titular character, portraying him and the Indian political and social affairs in a sarcastic and humorous way.

Thathachari comically narrates a small anecdote of Sultan Muhammad bin Tughluq, though which he emphases on how the king had an arrogant attitude, indifferent view towards his kingdom and subjects, how he ill-treated his guests and also the kind of plans he introduced that backfired.

They claim that they are the true Tugluq and Battuta buried several centuries ago along with a herb that has protected them and kept them alive until that day.

Tughluq shows a self-opinionated attitude towards the cabinet ministers and lends a deaf ear to all their proposals.

In a twist ending, it is revealed that both are actually two ordinary individuals (Mahadevan and Raghavan), who in an interest to reform the country have impersonated Thugluq and Battuta.

Raghavan attempts to explain everything to the cabinet ministers and later to the masses, however, Thugluq states that his "good friend" Battuta has gone insane suddenly.

Additionally, there is also a letter in the story, which has the proof to unveil the true identities of the Tughluq-Battuta duo, which however gets burnt later, so it does do not come to light.

In 1972, it was made into a Telugu film under the same title directed by B. V. Prasad and written by Dasari Narayana Rao.
