Oru Pudhiya Kadhai (transl. A new story) is a 1990 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by R. Balasubbiah,[1] starring newcomer Prabhuraj and Meena.[2] It was released on 10 August 1990.[3][4]
Meena, who starred as a child actress in several films, made her lead Tamil debut with this film. She gained recognition on the serial Anbulla Amma before acting in this film.[5][6][7] Editor M. Rajaram of Dinamalar turned producer with this film.[8]
Uma Kannadasan, who is not related to Kannadasan, composed the soundtrack and wrote the lyrics.[9]
N. Krishnaswamy of The Indian Express opined that "the director Balasubbiah, though he flounders off and on, has kept the fare clean".[9] B. S. S. of Kalki criticised the film for not presenting a new story while noting that Uma Kannadasan's music sounds like Ilaiyaraaja's in places.[2] The film was a commercial failure.[3]
