Olangal (1982)
Many years ago, fate brought Ravi Chattana to a remote village, where he met and fell in love with Rita, a kind and responsive girl. But life separated the lovers. Years passed. Ravi married another woman and had a daughter. It seemed that nothing could cloud his family happiness. But an unexpected phone call and a subsequent meeting with the parish priest disrupt the peaceful life of the Chattana family: Ravi has a son, Raju, whose existence he was unaware of. The situation is further complicated by the fact that the boy's mother, Rita, has died, and now it is up to the father to take care of the boy and take him into his family. Inspired from novel Man, Woman and Child by Erich Segal.
