Cast and their characters in Kathir

Kathir (essayed by debutant Venkatesh Annadurai) is a vexed engineering graduate, who believes that life hasn't treated him right from the beginning. Bhavya Trikha plays Venkatesh's girlfriend. Kathir leaves his hometown Coimbatore after he has a tiff with his father, and heads to Chennai. Here, he tries to take up a job in the IT industry, but his not-so-fluent English becomes a huge roadblock for him in landing a good offer.

To add to his woes, he gets off on a wrong foot with his house owner Savithri (Rajini Chandy), an inspiring old woman, whom he addresses as 'Paati' (grandmother). But as days pass by, their relationship, which begins on a rought note, tends to get better and they soon open up to each other. When Kathir learns about Savithri's past (which has Santhosh Pratap in a power-packed role of a communist, who fights for the welfare of marginalised communities and is her late husband), he changes his outlook towards life. He then heads back to his hometown and tries to make the world a better place to live in.
