What happens

Ellorum Nallavare (transl. All people are good) is a 1975 Indian Tamil-language film, directed and produced by S. S. Balan under Gemini Studios. A remake of the 1974 Kannada film Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu, it was simultaneously produced in Telugu and Hindi languages as Andaroo Manchivare (transl. Everyone is good) and Ek Gaon Ki Kahani (transl. The story of a village). Except for the Telugu version, it emerged a box-office bomb. Gemini did not produce another film until 1985 which became Janani. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
