Gatta Kusthi (2022) is a Tamil-language sports drama that blends action, comedy, and social themes. The film follows Veera, a traditional and somewhat chauvinistic man who believes in rigid gender roles. Wanting a submissive wife, he marries Keerthi, unaware that she is a trained wrestler with a strong, independent personality. As their relationship unfolds, Veera slowly realizes that his outdated beliefs are being challenged. The film cleverly balances humor and emotions, delivering a powerful message about breaking stereotypes and embracing equality in relationships.

Directed by Chella Ayyavu and starring Vishnu Vishal and Aishwarya Lekshmi, Gatta Kusthi uses the backdrop of wrestling to highlight gender dynamics and personal growth. Keerthi’s journey as a woman who refuses to conform, and Veera’s transformation from a rigid husband to a supportive partner, drive the narrative forward. With engaging performances, well-choreographed wrestling sequences, and a heartwarming conclusion, the film not only entertains but also offers a progressive take on marital relationships. It successfully blends mass appeal with meaningful storytelling, making it a refreshing addition to Tamil cinema
