Sirithu Vazha Vendum (in Tamil pronounced as /siɾittu ʋaːɻa ʋeːɳɖum/) is a 1974 Indian Tamil-language action film written and directed by S. S. Balan. The film stars M. G. Ramachandran, Latha and M. N. Nambiar. It is a remake of the 1973 Hindi film Zanjeer.[1] The film was released on 30 November 1974,[2] and ran for over 100 days in theatres.[3]
During his childhood, Ramu escapes from killing during the massacre of his parents. He grows up, haunted by the memory of this horrible night, drawing indefatigably a white horse, resulting from the chain bracelet of the mysterious killer. He also turns into a fearless and death-defying cop with an insatiable urge to get vengeance.
Later, he finds the murderer some years later on his policeman's way with the help of Usthad Abdul Rahman, an ex-owner of a cabaret who once was Ramu's enemy but now has sworn to give his life for Ramu after an initial fight, and settles the score with him.
The soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[4] The song "Konja Neram" is set in Saranga raga.[5]
Kanthan of Kalki said the film, despite its title, had nothing to make audiences cheerful.[6]
