Thevar Magan
Thevar Magan (1992) film directed by veteran director Bharathan. Critically considered by some to be amongst the best films released in the Tamil film industry, the film stars Kamal Haasan, Sivaji Ganesan, Nasser, Revathi and Gouthami in acclaimed roles. The film was also a commercial hit upon release. The film's score and soundtrack are composed by Ilaiyaraaja. The movie was later remade into Hindi as Virasat by Priyadarshan.
