Yamagain.

Yama movies tend to be pretty predictable.  There are a few basic plots which get recycled and rewritten over and over again.  Yama has to visit Earth and eat ice cream.  Yama has to deal with a man who died by mistake.  Yama gets involved in politics.  When you decide to watch a Yama movie like Adisaya Piravi (1990), you have a pretty good idea of what you're getting.  Usually.

Kalaiyan (Rajnikanth) is a talented freelance tough guy living in a poor neighborhood in Madras.  He uses his ill-gotten gains to support the people in his neighborhood, most notably his mother (S. N. Parvathy) and his sidekick and alleged martial arts instructor who doesn't seem to have a character name but is played by a little person actor named King Kong.  (A clip from this movie of King Kong dancing went viral in 2006, so you may have already seen part of this movie.)

After Kalayain disrupts a shipment of illegal liquor belonging to corrupt businessman Murukesh (Nagesh), Murukesh decides he'd rather have Kalayain working for him, rather than againts him, so he invites the young tough to his mansion for an "audition," by which I mean send waves of goons after him to see how long he lasts.  This is a bad idea on multiple levels, since Kalaiyan easily dispatches every goon sent his way, and in the process manages to win the heart of Murikesh's Bruce Lee obsessed daughter Sumathi (Sheeba Akashdeep.)  

When he's not wooing Sumathi Kalaiyan also finds time to foil the plans of Murukesh's business partner (Jaiganesh), who had planned to demolish Kalayain's neighborhood, and put a stop to the scheme of Jaiganesh's son (Betha Sudhakar) to force himself on Sumathi.  The angry rich guys try sending waves of goons after Kalayain, and when that doesn't work they conspire to run him over with a truck.

However, this is a Yama movie, so death is not the end.  Kalaiyan arrives in the afterlife and meets Vichitragupta (Cho Ramaswamy), assistant to Chitragupta (V. K. Ramaswamy), who is in turen the sidekick and assistant to Yama (Vinu Chakravarthy).  Kalayain isn't supposed to be dead yet, so after some arguing, Yama agrees to send him back in the body of soon to be deceased villager Balu (also Rajnikanth).

Balu is actually quite wealthy, but his father's will left him in the care of his uncle Chinnasamy (Senthamarai), who has beaten him into submission, leaving him to play Cinderella in his own home, his only comfort being his equally mistreated mother and his sweetheart Gauri (Kanaka.)  Balu is about to inherit, and the will is ironclad, so Chinnasamy poisons him.  And that's when Kalayain steps in.

Kalayain doesn't retain his memory when he becomes Balu, but he does retain his courage and fighting skills, so he quickly takes charge of the household and puts his wicked relatives in their proper place.  And everything is great, until Murukesh shows up in the village to visit his old friend Chinnasamy.  Balu suddenly remembers everything, and he sets off for Madras to set his other life in order.  Now Kalayain/Balu has to avenge two murders while balancing two mothers and two love interests, all while foiling one united team of rich evil jerks.

I've seen movies that are conceptually much weirder than Adisaya Piravi, and I am no stranger to bad editing or outrageous costumes.  But there's something about the combination of jumpy editing and sloppy fight choreography and some truly atrocious subtitles that gives the whole thing a deeply surreal quality.  It's not the weirdest movie I've seen, but it may be the most accidentally weird movie I've seen.
