Kaakki Sattai (Tamil: காக்கி சட்டை) is a 1985 Tamil-language Indian feature film directed by Rajasekhar, starring Kamal Haasan, Ambika, Madhavi, Sathyaraj, Rajeev and Thengai Srinivasan.
Ambika plays the role of the teasing and titillating girl who is trying to draw Kamal into a romantic interest very well and the movie establishes her as one of the most galmorous actresses of the time through the exotic song Pattu Kannam set in an Egyptian backdrop [1][2] The film was a blockbuster and completed 126-day run at the box office.
The film has Kamal Haasan playing an undercover cop, like old M. G. Ramachandran in Kaavalkaran (1967) and Idhayakkani (1975). A famous dialogue thagadu, thagadu delivered by the villain Sathyaraj went viral during that period.
