Interesting facts

Vaaname Ellai is a 1992 Indian Tamil-language drama film written and directed by K. Balachander, starring Anand Babu, Babloo Prithiveeraj, Gowtham Sundararajan, Madhoo, Ramya Krishnan, Vishali Kannadasan and Rajesh. The story involves five characters from different backgrounds, who, vexed with their lives, enter a suicide pact, but begin a short journey of 100 days to live together happily before dying.

Production

After the release of Ek Duuje Ke Liye (1981), Balachander was upset on learning of numerous people wanting to commit suicide the way it happened in the film. Lakshmi Vijayakumar, a psychiatrist, suggested he make a film showing "the thought of suicide in a positive light — to go through struggle, but overcome it and realise that life is worth living". This laid the foundation for Vaaname Ellai.
