Wissenswertes

Pagal Nilavu is a 1985 Indian Tamil-language gangster film written and directed by Mani Ratnam, starring Murali, Revathi, Sarath Babu and Sathyaraj. It is about a carefree youth caught between his loyalty to a mafia don and his love for a police officer's sister.

Production

Mani Ratnam and T. G. Thyagarajan of Sathya Jyothi Films were childhood friends as both their fathers were partners of Venus Movies and after the latter became a producer, he was keen to make a film directed by Ratnam. Like with the producer of Unaroo (1984), Ratnam initially narrated the script of Mouna Ragam (1986), then under the title of Divya, but Thyagarajan wanted an action film; the pair eventually began work on Pagal Nilavu.

The film was launched at Prasad Studios along with song recording in December 1984. Pagal Nilavu was the first Mani Ratnam film to have standalone songs, which had to be picturised and he shot the videos of "Maina Maina" and "Nee Appothu", one after another. To make the film more commercially viable, Thyagarajan included a comedy subplot written by J. Livingston and Kumar, featuring Goundamani as a Malayali.
