Nagareme Nandi

Nagarame Nanni is a 1967 Malayalam language film, written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair and directed by A. Vincent. The film stars Madhu, Prem Nazir, Usha Nandhini and K. P. Ummer among others. The film tells the story of a family that migrates from a village to the city of Madras in search of a better life. The theme was about the lure of the city and how the dreams of villagers are shattered by its inexorable logic of greed. The plot is similar to the 1964 film Birds of Exile by Halit Refiğ. K. Balachander's Tamil film Pattina Pravesam (1977) was based on all these three films.
