Directed by R. Sundarrajan · Music by Ilaiyaraaja · 1992
One of Vijay's earliest films as a child transitioning to lead roles. Family drama.
This was Vijay's film 1 of 69 as a lead actor — counted from his debut Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) — released in 1992 during the 1990s.
Vijay's debut as a lead actor at age 18, launched by his father, director S. A. Chandrasekhar.
Though modest at the box office, it marked the launchpad of Tamil cinema's future superstar.
Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) was a well-received chapter in Vijay's steadily rising career, part of the remarkable consistency that defined his run through the 1990s and built the enormous fan base that would later power his political movement.
