Don Muthhuswamy

Mithun Chakraborty is Don Muthhuswamy. He sports a veshti, eats idlis and drinks narial paani. He spouts Hindi in an exaggerated Tamil accent (he did this long back, starring in a Bachchan film). He murders a couple of Urdu phrases, too, while he’s at it. And goes in and out of a plastic house filled with plastic characters: a hysterical female pretending to be pregnant, a toothy fellow trying to pass off as a teacher, and the complete lack of a screenplay. Why is Mithun in this film? Kya aap paanchvi class se tez hain?
