What happens
Raja Chinna Roja (transl. King and small rose) is a 1989 Indian Tamil-language children's film, directed by S. P. Muthuraman, written by Panchu Arunachalam and produced by AVM Productions. The film stars Rajinikanth, Raghuvaran and Gautami. Its plot revolves around an aspiring actor who meets his childhood friend, but is forced to take care of his nieces and nephews. Raja Chinna Roja was the first Indian film to feature live action with animation. It is a remake of the 1971 Bengali film Jay Jayanti, which itself is based on the 1965 film The Sound of Music. It also borrows inspiration from Arunachalam's 1974 film Unnaithan Thambi and the American films Mary Poppins (1964). The cinematography was handled by T. S. Vinayagam, the editing by R. Vittal and Lancy, and music was composed by Chandrabose. Raja Chinna Roja was released on 20 July 1989. The film was commercially successful and had a 175-day theatrical run, with the animated sequence particularly being well received. Arunachalam won the Cinema Express Award for Best Story Writer.
