Petralthan Pillaiya is a 1966[1][better source needed] Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by Krishnan-Panju. The film features M. G. Ramachandran and B. Saroja Devi in lead roles. It is a remake of Charlie Chaplin's 1921 American comedy-drama film,[2] The Kid. It was produced by Vasu, under Sri Muthukumaran Pictures. The film was the last time that T. S. Balaiah and M. R. Radha played beside Ramachandran. This is the 25th and final collaboration between Ramachandran and M. R. Radha, as a few days after the film was completed, Radha shot Ramachandran, wounding him.[3]

Score

The key song in the movie, "Nalla Nalla Pillaigalai...", had to be modified for political reasons.[vague] In the first version, the text of the poet Vaalee contained the words "Arignar Annappol" (English: Anna, the scholar), a reference to Indian politician C. N. Annadurai. The lyrics were changed after filming to "Thiru Vi Kappol", a reference to Indian scholar and activist Thiru. V. Kalyanasundaram.
Soundtrack
The music composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[6]
