Nenjirukkum Varai (1967) watch online

Nenjirukkum Varai (transl. As long as there is a heart) is a 1967 Indian Tamil-language film, directed and produced by C. V. Sridhar. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan, Muthuraman, Gopalakrishnan, K. R. Vijaya and Geethanjali. It revolves around a man struggling with poverty, falling in love with his house owner's daughter.

Sridhar initially decided to make Nenjirukkum Varai as revolving around the theme of the 1965 war between India and Pakistan; the story was dropped after Sridhar learnt that Lal Bahadur Shastri and Muhammad Ayub Khan signed the Tashkent Declaration. Retaining the title, he developed a new story inspired by the Bengali play Shudha (transl. Hunger). The film was shot in black-and-white to emphasise the central theme of poverty, and none of the cast members applied make-up for much of the film.

Nenjirukkum Varai was released on 2 March 1967 and failed at the box office.
