Pulikkuthi Pandi is a 2021 Indian Tamil-language action drama television film produced, written and directed by M. Muthaiah.

The film stars Lakshmi Menon, Vikram Prabhu and Singampuli, with Samuthrakani, R.K. Suresh, Vela Ramamoorthy and Sujatha Sivakumar in supporting roles.

It was released as a television premiere directly in Sun TV on 15 January 2021 coinciding with Pongal and Vikram Prabhu's birthday.

Pulikuthi Pandi is a rogue with nearly 20 petty cases registered against him at a police station after getting into fights.

Pechi's sisters-in-law reveal he helped them pay a loan even though they did not know each other, so he has a good character, so you should marry him.

Pandi fights them, and Inspector Karungali tells him he beat up the men of Sannasi Thevar, a dangerous loan shark.

Sannasi asks Pandi to fall at his feet as a sign of forgiveness, but Saravedi beheads him and gets arrested.

The film was announced in September 2020 and the makers began production in the same month amid COVID-19 pandemic.

The filmmakers initially titled the film as Pechi and began the principal photography,[3] but was later changed to Pulikkuthi Pandi.

[4] The film project marked the second collaboration between Vikram Prabhu and Lakshmi Menon after Kumki (2012).

The album features six tracks with lyrics written by Mohan Rajan, Mani Amudhavan and Araikudi Bharathi Ganesan.

[9] The filmmakers initially planned it for Christmas release on 25 December 2020 but was postponed due delays in post-production.

[12] Thinkal Menon of The Times of India rated 2.5 out of 5 stars and said, "The action scenes in the latter half (though violent), cinematography and performances lift the film to a good extent till the climax.

All the artists pull off their roles with ease – while Lakshmi Menon, Vela Ramamoorthy and RK Suresh stand out.
