Sirithu Vazha Vendum (pronounced [siɾittu ʋaːɻa ʋeːɳɖum] transl. Live cheerfully) is a 1974 Indian Tamil-language film written and directed by S. S. Balan. The film stars M. G. Ramachandran, Latha and M. N. Nambiar. It is a remake of the 1973 Hindi film Zanjeer.[1] The film was released on 30 November 1974,[2] and ran for over 100 days in theatres.[3]
During his childhood, Ramu escapes from killing during the massacre of his parents. He grows up, haunted by the memory of this horrible night, drawing indefatigably a white horse, resulting from the chain bracelet of the mysterious killer. He also turns into a fearless and death-defying cop with an insatiable urge to get vengeance.
Later, he finds the murderer some years later on his policeman's way with the help of Usthad Abdul Rahman, an ex-owner of a cabaret who once was Ramu's enemy but now has sworn to give his life for Ramu after a initial fight, and settles the score with him.
The soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan.[5]
