Kallukkul Eeram (Tamil: கல்லுக்குள் ஈரம் English: Moisture inside stone) is a 1980 Kollywood film directed by P.S.Nivas, starring Bharathiraaja, Sudhakar, Aruna Mucherla and Vijayashanti.



Its a story of two innocent village girls who fall in love with the Director and Hero of the cinema crew visiting their village for a shoot. Aruna falls in love with Bharathiraaja and Vijayashanthi with Sudhagar.

Bharathiraaja's movie crew lands on the picturesque and primeval village. The villagers are enthralled by the visiting crew. Vijaya Shanthi, a witty girl and Aruna, who perpetually wears an expression of shock and surprise combined, her marble-eyes not letting any other emotions through, are constant on lookers. Aruna steps into a frame of the movie and is admonished by Bharathiraaja. Vijay Shanthi and Aruna stage a role play song with the village children with V Shanthi as the heroine and Aruna as the director. Bharathi Raaja and Sudhakar walk by and catch them in the act. They appreciate the villagers amateur attempt and praise them. Aruna returns some money she finds, which belongs to Bharathiraaja and he further appreciates her honesty.

Gounda Mani, who is Aruna's dad is the village launder. Aruna delivers the laundered clothes to the crew. As she visits Bharathiraaja each time, she also secretly sends him a flower or a note.

Vijaya Shanthi develops romantic feelings towards Sudhakar, only to be told by him that he meets several girls like her and she mistook his friendly gestures. In a moment when a supporting artiste did not show up, Bharathiraaja grabs Aruna from the crowd and makes her play a one line part.

Karuppan who slew the arm of another villager who once teased Aruna, returns from jail. He finds out about Bharathiraaja grabbing Aruna's arm and tries to kill him by rolling rocks on him. However, Aruna finds out and saves Bharathiraaja. He notices later that the cloth tied around his injured arm belongs to Aruna's saree. During the village temple festival, Vijaya Shanthi dances in the play. However, as she was jilted by Sudhagar, she commits suicide. Karuppan tries to molest Aruna in the groves, but ChandraShekar, the village madcap kills him.

The Crew leaves the village. As they leave, Aruna stops Bharathiraaja, but doesn't tell him anything. Hounded by memories of her, he returns and they unite on the river banks. As he holds her hand, chandra Shekar kills him from behind.

The movie was a good show of Bharthiraaja's acting skills. Vijaya Shanthi put up a good performance. Aruna was quite terrible and the climax, unrealistic and impossible. The Siru pon mani song was notable of Ilayaraja's music. Back Ground score was excellent at some points. Gounda Mani and Janakaraj displayed good comedy in this one of their early movies

The movie itself was visionary and unique when it came out, despite having Bharathiraja in a major role. The way the filming of a movie corrupts the innocence of a small village was beautifully captured in this offbeat film. I preferred the tragic ending to the happier one that was shown in most centers. Cinematographer Nivas was credited with directing the film and Bharathiraja was credited with 'direction mERpaarvai'. That's like placing a dummy as an acting chief minister for a period in Indian politics.

I had completely forgotten about this song until I happened on it on the net. It has the exuberance of early IR compositions. The way the mirudhangam intercedes folk drums with a stalling beat is irresistible. The singers provide the perfect flavor as the folk chorus, the extended male and female humming breaking the sandham's monotony are all welcome and bygone treasures. I completely indulged myself hitting play repeatedly until the song totally came home to me. I hope you at least give it a try.

Ayan Laadan Illaiyaraja

What others says about Maestro Ilaiyaraja

Ilaiyaraaja is my favourite musician. He has that unmatched talent to maintain a particular raga till the very end of the song. The essence & soul of the raga is well maintained throughout

ANURADHA KRISHNAMURTHY (Carnatic Vocalist / TV star, South India)

As far as i am concerned, i would say Ilaiyaraja is the composer of the century. If there is one single authority on 'orchestration', it can only be ilaiyaraja.

Dr.BALAMURALIKRISHNA (Eminent Carnatic Vocalist, India) .

I love all the melodious compositions of ilaiyaraja sung by S.P.Balasubramaniam and Yesudoss. My all time favourite is 'raja raja chozhan' from 'Rettai Vaal Kuruvi' that i hum frequently.

L.BALAJI (Budding Cricket Star/Bowler, India)

There wont be another ilaiyaraja. He is par excellence, self taught and a complete composer. Improvising on original compositions of someone like ilaiyaraja has always been a dicey proposition for me. Some of my improvisations / touches get his nod, while in other instances when i go overboard, he would step in with a figurative spank in the ear. Me, Jesu anna and Chitra are all so lucky to have got the opportunity to sing hundreds of numbers in his music.

S.P.BALASUBRAHMANYAM (Eminent Singer, Music Director, India)

If a situation arised wherein ilaiyaraaja decides to quit film music, i would as well quit making films. We both have worked so long with each other now that i dont need to explain him in great details abt my expectations. He knows what music i would want, and i create situations which he will love to make music for.

BALUMAHENDRA (Eminent Film Director, India)

He is the master of background music. I watch films that has ilaiyaraja as the music director, just for his background scores. "Thalapathi" is one such movie, which i have watched umpteen times just for his BGMs.

BHARADHWAJ (Music Composer, India)

When you listen to his songs, you feel as if you were in a trance. Especially, the song," Kaatril Endhan Geedham" from film Johny. Listening to his music is by itself a meditation to me.

BHARANI (Music Composer, South India)

I shoot scenes with a particular impact in mind. And even before i discuss about what i have in mind, he is already ready with mind boggling BGM bits.

BHARATHIRAAJA (Noted Film Maker, India)

His music is precious. Mere dishing out of money wont get you such quality music.

CHANDRAHASAN ( Film Producer, India)

I owe a lot to maestro ilaiyaraja and I will ever remain grateful to him. He is the main reason for whatever i have achieved as a singer thus far in my career. The padmashree award that i received was not for me...it is dedicated to raja sir...I still remember very clearly the day when i sang "poojaiketha poovidhu" in his recording studio..From that day, till today, he has been blessing me with his love, standing by me as my own father ...

CHITRA (Eminent Singer, India)

We are big fans of the Maestro, and are proud to be the exclusive North American importer of the WINGS CD. ReR USA holds no allegiance to any particular style or genre of music, rather we only care about excellence. That's why we're so thrilled to have ilaiyaraaja !!.

DAVID KERMAN (ReR-USA, Music Distributor, North America)

He is my God. I have grown up listening to his music. Whatever i am able to compose today, i owe it to this maestro.
