Uyarndha Manidhan

Raju, a rich man gets along even with the poor unlike his father. He falls in love with Parvathi, a poor girl but is forced to marry Vimala because of his father. Director duo Krishnan–Panju’s Midas touch made this remake of the 1966 Bengali film “Uttar Purush” a tremendous success in Tamil. Often considered as one of Sivaji Ganesan’s all-time greats, this drama is poignant account of the tragedies that befall a young heir following an act of atrocity.
