Sorry Dom,
Mangaloreans would pronounce this way:
'polthoDcho' or 'polthoDicho' monis
aplo (mine) pelo (others) pele+thoDi = polthoDi
Of course, literal translation would be ' the person from the other
side of (usually) the river'.
We too call 'this side of the river 'althoDi' and the other side 'polthoDi'
The phrase has been immortalized by:
Haum saiba polthoDi vetham!!!
The word 'monis' usually implies 'man' but why do we call man 'dadhlo
Monis and lady 'baail Monis. Therefore, the phrase 'monis' should
mean person or human being??
Regards
Maurice D.

You are right, FN. The word 'poltoddi' comes from pre-bridge days -
"altoddi thavn
poltoddi" means from this side of the bank of a river to the other side.
'Poltoddicho Munis' simply means 'A man from across an
estuary/creek/river or from
the other side of an estuary/creek/river'.
However, the media has been publishing the title of the movie in
different names:
"PALTADACHO MUNIS" (The first word is Mangalorean.)
"POLTODDICHO MUNIS" and
"PULA POLTODDICHO MUNIS"
