What happens

Yaarukkaga Azhudhaan (transl. For whom did he cry?) is a 1966 Indian Tamil-language thriller drama film written, produced and directed by Jayakanthan. It is based on his novel of the same name. The film stars Nagesh, K. R. Vijaya, T. S. Balaiah, S. V. Sahasranamam and Wahab Kashmiri. It deals with an intellectually disabled servant boy who is wrongly accused of theft in the lodge he works at. Yaarukkaga Azhudhaan was released on 22 July 1966. Although the film received critical praise for its content and technique, it failed commercially, and Jayakanthan did not direct any film afterwards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
