Movie Review:

Right from the day it went on floors, Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuthu (IAMK) was promoted as an adult horror flick. The film stays true to its genre to a good extent though the plot could have been worked out in a better way.

Veera (Gautam Karthik) and Vasu (Shah Ra) go to Thailand for a week with their girlfriends Thendral (Vaibhavi) and Kavya (Yashika Anand). The couples face a series of horrific incidents when they get to know the posh bungalow they are staying in is occupied by an evil spirit. The spirit, which claims to be a sexually-starved one, threatens that either Veera or Vasu should have sex with it, without which it'd be difficult for them to escape from the house. They seek the help of a priest and nun, played by Motta Rajendran and Balasaravanan respectively.

The entry of Girish Kalyan (Karunakaran), an unapologetic homosexual, and a tantrik (John Vijay) makes things interesting. Will the tantrik be able to control the spirit?

The film is filled with ample double-entendres and skin show as expected and it works with the targeted audience. But the horror angle falls flat and do not create much impact. A much better screenplay in the second half could have worked wonders.

Production:

Following the success of the adult comedy Hara Hara Mahadevaki (2017), K. E. Gnanavel Raja chose to associate with director Santhosh P. Jayakumar and actor Gautham Karthik for another film in the same genre. Titled Iruttu Araiyil Murattu Kuththu, Santhosh stated it would be one of the first "adult horror comedy" films shot in the Tamil film industry. Production was briefly delayed due to the FEFSI strike in September 2017, but it duly began later that month. The makers initially attempted to cast Oviya in a lead role, following her rise to fame through the reality show Bigg Boss (2017), but she turned down the offer. Vaibhavi Shandilya was subsequently cast as the lead actress and began shooting for the film in Chennai for a five-day schedule. The team later moved to Thailand to shoot the rest of the film. Actresses Rashmi Gautham and Chandrika Ravi also later joined the team during the Thailand schedule to portray glamorous roles, with Rashmi later replaced by Yaashika Aanand.
