Thaali Bhagyam: Difference between revisions

| released      = {{film date|1966|August|27|df=y}}

The families of Nallasivam ([[S. V. Subbaiah]]) and Murugan ([[M.G. Ramachandran]]) have been neighbours for generations. Nallasivam is nurturing his wish to give his daughter Valli ([[B. Saroja Devi]]) in marriage to Murugan ([[M.G. Ramachandran|MGR]]).

 

Meanwhile, a bride search for Nallasivam is on and Murugan accompanies Nallasivam along with others to see a bride, Kamalam ([[M. N. Rajam]]). Kamalam, thinking Murugan is the groom agrees for the marriage, and finds it is otherwise on the day of the marriage.

 

In a passionate moment, Kamalam misbehaves with Murugan, which is seen by Namchivayam ([[M. N. Nambiar]]). Namchivayam takes this opportunity to blackmail Kamalam and get her to do things against Murugan.

 

How Murugan foils their plans and how finally truth prevails is what the movie is all about.

M. G. Ramachandran initially wanted M.A. Thirumugam to direct the film; however, K. B. Nagabhushanam insisted on directing, as well as producing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Kantha |first=Sachi Sri |author-link=Sachi Sri Kantha |date=16 March 2016 |title=MGR Remembered&nbsp;– Part 34 {{!}} 1966 and Prelude to the M.R.
