Directed by J Mahendran, Mullum Malarum was screened at the 1979 International Film Festival of India as part of the Indian Panorama and is considered a milestone in Tamil cinema. His character as Kaali is one of his most nuanced till date. This film gave Rajinikanth his real-real break in cinema. Kasetha Kadavulada stars Muthuraman, Thengai Srinivasan, Venniradai Moorthy, Manorama, Suruli Rajan amongst others. The film has great comedy and an engaging story and we’ve wondered, more than once, ‘why don’t they make them like these anymore?’. This one’s an evergreen rib tickler written and directed by Chitralaya Gopu, first as a stage play.

If you’re still not sure if you want to watch this film, all you need to do is listen to ‘Va Arugil va, thaa uyirai thaa’ song from the film - An eerie melody that translates into ‘come closer, give me your life’.

There are serial murders in a family by an unknown killer and actor Ravichandran plays a detective who’s out to solve it. One of the earliest Tamil thrillers, Athey Kangal needs to be enjoyed for its tight script and down-the-rabbit-hole narration.

V.This family drama won National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Tamil – Certificate of Merit for the Second Best Feature Film upon its release.
