Ninaithale Inikkum (transl. Sweet Memories) is a 1979 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film directed by K. Balachander starring Kamal Haasan, Rajinikanth, Jayaprada, Geetha and Nakul. The story was written by Sujatha Rangarajan.[2][3] The film was also simultaneously shot in Telugu as Andamaina Anubhavam (transl. Beautiful experience).[4] A large part of the film was shot in Singapore.[5] This Movie was later dubbed in Hindi as Pyara Tarana.[6][7]

Plot[edit]

The film follows Chandru, a singer and his band on a tour to Singapore. Over there Chandru meets his love interest Sona, only to find that she is terminally ill.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Many of K. Balachander's students like Jayasudha, Sarath Babu, Geetha and Narayana Rao appear in cameo for their mentor. This was the debut film for actor S. V. Shekhar.[8] Jayasudha's sister Subhashini also appears. The band in the film and the music were inspired by the Beatles.[9]

A large portion of the film was shot in Singapore,[10] while additional scenes were shot at the AVM Garden Villa, Chennai.[11] The scene where Deepak (Rajinikanth) is challenged to flip his cigarette 10 times or lose a finger is based on Roald Dahl's Man from the South.[12]

Soundtrack[edit]

The soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan while the lyrics were written by Kannadasan. Engeyum Eppothum was one of the famous disco songs from the film which was remixed by Yogi B in Pollathavan (2007).[13] The song "Sambo Siva Sambo" was remixed by Vijay Antony as "Avala Nambithan" for Salim (2014).[14] Sudha Ragunathan noted that "Ninaithale Inikkum just rocked the scene with MSV Sir bringing out his innovative streaks."[15] MSV reused the song "Sambho Siva Sambho" for a tamil play named "Shiva Sambho".[16] The title song of this movie "Nenaithale Inikum" is unique composition as it has only two words throughout the whole song. "[17]

Reception[edit]

Piousji of Sunday wrote, "despite heroic efforts by Kamalahasan to save the film, it disintegrates fast."[18]

Accolades[edit]

B. S. Lokanath won Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Cinematographer.

Legacy[edit]

Films like Bharathi Kannamma (1997), Engeyum Eppodhum (2011) were named after the film's songs.[citation needed] In 2009, another film called Ninaithale Inikkum, starring Prithviraj Sukumaran, Sakthi Vasu and Priyamani was released. G. N. R. Kumaravelan who directed the film, stated that the title was "right for my film on students and the college scenario".[19] Lastly, the lyrics, "Jagame Thandhiram" in the song Sambo Sivasambo inspired a 2020 Dhanush movie of the same name.

Abaswaram Ramji conducted a stage show called Ninaithale Inikkum in 2006.[20] A stage play called "Sambo Siva sambo" named after the film's song was conducted by Theatre of Maham. M. S. Viswanathan composed the background music for the play.[21]

Re-release[edit]

A digitally restored version of the film was released on 4 October 2013,[22] but received a lukewarm response at the box office.[23]
