Aval (lit.'She') is a 1972 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar, produced by Vijayalakshmi Pictures and presented by Nahatha Pictures. The film stars Vennira Aadai Nirmala, A. V. M. Rajan, Sreekanth and Shashikumar in the lead roles. It is a remake of the 1971 Hindi film Do Raha.

Plot

The daughter of a millionaire falls in love with a writer. Both have sex before marriage and they get married. A rich publisher, who lusts for the girl, makes the writer rich. The writer takes to drinking, induces his wife to drink and the rich publisher tries to rape the girl, but is eventually murdered.[1]

Cast

Production

The Hindi film Do Raha (1971) was a "sensational success", prompting A. C. Tirulokchandar to remake it in Tamil as Aval.[5] Besides directing, he also wrote the remake's screenplay.[3][6] The film was produced by Sunderlal Nahatha under Vijayalakshmi Pictures.[3][1]

Themes

Writing for Bangalore Mirror, R. S. Prakash considered Aval to be one of the earliest Tamil films based entirely on sex.[7]

Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the film was composed by Sankar Ganesh,[8] while the lyrics were written by Vaali. The playback singers were P. Susheela, S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and T. M. Soundararajan.[3]

Release

Aval was released on 15 September 1972,[8] and was presented by Nahatha Pictures.[3] Like the original Hindi film, this too attained commercial success,[2] and became one of the most popular films starring Nirmala.[9]
