Interesting facts

Udhaya Geetham is a 1985 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by K. Rangaraj and produced by Kovaithambi. The film stars Mohan, Lakshmi and Revathi, with Goundamani, Senthil, Anand Babu, and Prathapachandran in supporting roles. It revolves around a singer who is facing a death sentence for a murder he did not commit, and the efforts of a young girl to clear his name. The film was released on 13 April 1985 and was a commercial success, running for 148 days in theatres and thereby becoming a silver jubilee film.

Production

After the success of Unnai Naan Santhithen (1984), producer Kovaithambi and director K. Rangaraj decided to reunite for another film. The film was titled Udaya Geetham because Kovaithambi had a "sentiment" for the letter 'U', as with Unnai Naan Santhithen. The comedy subplot involving Goundamani as a fake swami and Senthil as an inmate was written by A. Veerappan.
