About Uyarndha Manidhan
Raju, a rich man gets along even with the poor unlike his father. He falls in love with Parvathi, a poor girl but is forced to marry Vimala because of his father. Director duo Krishnan–Panju’s Midas touch made this remake of the 1966 Bengali film “Uttar Purush” a tremendous success in Tamil. Often considered as one of Sivaji Ganesan’s all-time greats, this drama is poignant account of the tragedies that befall a young heir following an act of atrocity.
Directed by R. Krishnan, S. Panju, Uyarndha Manidhan leans on a strong ensemble — Sivaji Ganesan, Sowcar Janaki, Vanisri — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1968.

The play is shown act by act with the briefest of breaks to move props or for refreshments. The lack of costumes, real props and scenery is soon forgotten.
