Dindigul Sarathy is a 2008 Indian Tamil language drama film directed by Siva Sanmukam, who earlier directed Thagapansamy. The film stars Karunaas, Karthika, and Saranya Ponvannan in the lead roles, while Nassar, M. S. Baskar, Livingston, Chitti Babu, Shanmugarajan, Periyar Dasan, Manobala, and Anu Mohan among others, play supporting roles. The film has cinematography by S. Thaj and music by Dhina. The film released on 18 December 2008 and was a remake of Vadakkunokkiyantram (1989), a popular Malayalam film by Sreenivasan.
The story revolves around an insecure teetotaler named Sarathy (Karunas), who feels bad due to his dark skin (his wife Vasanthi (Karthika) is fairer than him), which is often the butt of many jokes. Because Sarathy feels inferior to Vasanthi, he begins to suspect her of infidelity and thinks that she will one day elope with a lover. After a misunderstanding, Sarathy and his mother Saradha (Saranya) are estranged, which further weakens the bond between him and Vasanthi. How Sarathy resolves his issues and gets back together with Vasanthi forms the rest of the story.
