What happens
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 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. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
