Plot[edit]
The film starts with an introduction to the main characters: the protagonist Bomman (Vikram Prabhu), his pet elephant Manickam, his uncle Kothali (Thambi Ramaiah), and his sidekick Undiyal (Ashvin Raja). Bomman spends most of his time with Manickam and earns his livelihood by hiring it out for festivals in temples and wedding celebrations. Meanwhile, in a village dominated by old principles, a rogue elephant (Komban) ravages crops and ambushes its people. Frustrated by this and without any help from the forest officers, their leader decides to bring a kumki elephant to tame Komban. Bomman and his crew reach the village as placeholders to stay for a couple of days until the real mahout and kumki elephant arrive. Life begins to change for Bomman when he falls in love with Alli (Lakshmi Menon), the daughter of the village leader. She is at first reluctant keeping in mind the village’s principles but she soon starts to fall for Bomman. Life goes on smoothly, until Komban starts attacking the village. Komban kills Kothali and Undiyal and injures Bomman. In the ensuing fight between Manickam and Komban, Manickam kills Komban but suffers serious injuries and dies. Bomman then cries out loud, regretting that his love had led to the death of his crew and Manickam. Alli's father then recognizes that Alli and Bomman are in love. The film then ends abruptly, leaving Bomman's fate to the viewer's imagination.

Production[edit]
In a December 2012 interview to Nikhil Raghavan of The Hindu, Prabhu Solomon felt that the success of his previous film Mynaa was because by producing and directing the film, it helped him have creative freedom and pay more attention to detail. He realised that Kumki would be a bigger venture and that he 'didn’t want anything to go wrong.'[9] At that time, director N. Lingusamy and N. Subash Chandrabose, owners of the production company Thirrupathi Brothers offered to bankroll the film, much to Solomon's delight.[10]
Solomon wanted a new face for the role of Bomman, for which over 60 auditions were held. Vikram Prabhu, who participated in the auditions, was selected.[10] Vikram had earlier worked as an assistant director for films like Sarvam (2009) and Aasal (2010).[11]
The film which was earlier titled as Komban, was shot across the forests of Kerala and Karnataka.[12] The film was shot at athirappalli falls at Munnar.[13] Later, some scenes were shot in Kerala in dense jungles as well as at Jog Falls and on the Orissa border.[11][14] For the climax portion, producers bought two-acres of land to shoot a scene where elephants destroy the land.[15] Solomon shot the film mostly during the day, especially in morning and evening time, to create the right feel for the scenes. Solomon also wished to explore his love of nature through Kumki. The elephant, Manickam, was around 12 feet tall.[9]
Release[edit]
The satellite rights of the film were sold to STAR Vijay. The film was given a 'U' certificate by the Indian Censor Board.[16] Release was initially scheduled for Diwali but due to post-production works,[17] it was postponed to 14 December 2012.[18] K. E. Gnanavel Raja's Studio Green has acquired the distribution rights.[19]
Critical reception[edit]
Kumki received critical acclaim.[20] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu compared the film's similarities to M. G. Ramachandran's Nalla Neram (1972) and Rajinikanth's Annai Oru Aalayam (1979) in terms of the protagonist's relationship with Elephants. Rangarajan praised the performances of Vikram and Menon, noting that while Vikram 'makes an impact with effective underplay', Menon showed 'apt expressions'; she found Ramaiah's dialogues to be a bit 'contrived' after a certain point of time.[21]Oneindia gave Kumki a 3 out of 5 saying that while the movie is at times 'dragging', the subject makes it an 'engaging affair although the climax is predictable'.[22]Behindwoods also gave the film a 3 out of 5 saying that 'Kumki definitely lives up to the hype. It is a beautifully shot movie with good performances and an emotional core'.[23]
Box office[edit]
Kumki was made with the budget of ₹ 5 crores. The film was a success at the box office.[24] The film grossed ₹ 10 crore in 3 days.[25] The film grossed more than ₹ 40 crore at the box office.[26] The film got Super Hit status at the box office.[27][28][29]
Sequel[edit]
Prabhu Solomon has confirmed the sequel of this film, titled Kumki 2. This sequel will feature newcomers in lead roles as the first part.[30]
