Directed by Ashim Samanta
Ashim Samanta, marks his directorial debut with the film
Don Muthuswami. The movie is funny at times and Mithun
Chakraborty carries the film on his shoulders with his
experience and seasoned understanding.
Muthuswami (Mithun Chakraborty) comes to pay his last
respects to his father who is on the deathbed. The
father slaps Muthu and tells him that he has brought
shame to the family by being a gangster and that he
would die an unhappy man. The Don promises his father
that he would give up his crooked ways and turn into a
honest man, if that would keep him at peace. So begins
the transformation from Don Muthuswami to Sir Muthuswami.
Muthu orders his henchmen to continue working for him as
domestic help instead of being gangsters. He engages a
Hindi teacher Jaikishan (Mohit Raina) to improve his
language. The teaching process understandably leads to a
lot of laughter. Also, it is now the time to find a
groom for his daughter Sanjana (Hrishita Bhatt).
How does Muthu get back the loot from Preetam? Who is
the father of Sanjana's baby? Who is Ranjana? How does
Don Muthuswami handle the situation? The film is all
about it.
Mithun Charaborthy is fantastic and delivers comedy with
ease. Dilip Joshi & Rakesh Bedi combine well as tailors
who give Muthuswami a new look. Rakesh Bedi does well so
does the newcomer Vishal Kotian who impresses with his
comic timing playing Shakti Kapoor's sidekick. The
charming Rohit Roy puts in an impressive performance as
the crook. Shakti Kapoor has nothing much to do.
Hrishitaa Bhatt is the glamorous girl in this film,
though a little uneasy in comic scenes.

Here, Muthu's manager Preetam (Rohit Roy) comes to Muthu
to ask for his daughter's hand in marriage. Muthu says his
daughter deserves a man who earns millions. Preetam has
been, over the years, stealing money from the Don, in his
bid to become a millionaire. Although another girl Ranjana
(Anusmriti) loves Preetam and she, infact admits to Muthu
about it. Muthu is somewhat relieved that Preetam is not
his daughter's boyfriend.
Meanwhile, Muthu thinks that
the best match for his daughter Sanjana would be his good
friend Don Vardhan's son Pradhan. However Sanjana
disapproves this, since she fallen in love with the hindi
teacher Jaikishan, Sanjana tells her dad that she is
pregnant to ward off his choice of the groom.
Ranjana loves Preetam. Preetam wants to get married to 'Muthu's
daughter'. Muthu's actual daughter Sanjana loves Jaikishan,
however Muthu has Pradhan in mind for her daughter's
marriage. This makes things more complicated and there is
comedy and drama all around.
Ashim Samanta's father Shakti Samanta, was a force to
reckon with in the 70s and 80s. And now the debutante
director takes over the reins. He does okay with this
comedy film.
