Muthu (Tamil: முத்து; English: Pearl) is a 1995 Tamil film directed by K. S. Ravikumar. The film's score and soundtrack is composed by A. R. Rahman. The film stars Rajinikanth, Meena, Raghuvaran, Sarath Babu, Radharavi, Senthil and Vadivelu. It is a remake of Malayalam film Thenmavin Kombathu with some suitable changes for Rajanikanth and Tamil audiences.
The film was dubbed in Telugu under the same title. It was later released in Japanese as Muthu Odoru Maharaja (ムトゥ 踊るマハラジャ?) which means Muthu - The Dancing Maharaja. The film was also dubbed in Hindi as Muthu Maharaja and was distributed by Eros Labs.
A lavish Zamindar (Rajinikanth) lived with his sister-in-law and cousin Rajasekhar (Raghuvaran), helping people incessantly. His sister-in-law has a son, to whom the Zamindar bequeaths a major portion of his property. At this juncture, a new baby is born to the Zamindar. His wife dies soon after. Brother Rajasekhar cheats the Zamindar as he fears that his son's property might be taken back and given to the Zamindar's own son. When the cheating comes to light, the Zamindar hands over all his property and his baby to his sister-in-law and brother and goes to the Himalayas, making his sister-in-law promise him that the baby should be brought up as a servant, not as a Zamindar. This baby is named Muthu (also Rajinikanth).
Tonight our endless hunt begins
A storm of endless flames
The moon, the stars, the killing fields
Only the darkest souls will walk this ground
Shadows racing through the night
Like the hordes of ancient times
Grim faces, hearts of stone
Armageddon, the final war is on
A legion of forgotten souls
An army of heathen flesh
Riding hellion horses
The midnight sky is our home
We are possessed, we are immortal
We are the torment that you feel
Our journey goes through magic moonlight
On a path of broken bones
On a path of broken bones
We are back, forever
Streams of blood on the frozen snow
Howling wolves, in their forest home
Torches burning, in a thousand hands
As we await our ancestors of the darkly sky
Tonight our shadows will fly
Tonight the sky will cry
Tonight the ravens fly
Tonight the final war, the shadow war
We are the northern light, against clear black sky
With armour of silver and helmets of bone
The lifestorm is coming, and will slaughter and kill
As our cloven hooves echo forever
Through endless forests
