Weakness is screenplay".<ref name="I">{{Cite web|url=https://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-muthyam.html|title=Movie review - Muthyam|date=26 October 2001|work=[Idlebrain.com](/source/Idlebrain.com)|last=jeevi|access-date=3 June 2024|archive-date=1 June 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240601080750/https://idlebrain.com/movie/archive/mr-muthyam.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
