Aalinganam

Aalinganam is a 1976 Indian Malayalam-language film, directed by I. V. Sasi and written by Sherif. The film stars Raghavan, Sridevi, Rani Chandra and Vincent, with music by A. T. Ummer. Sasi remade it in Tamil as Pagalil Oru Iravu (1979), with Sridevi returning.

Production
Aalinganam was one of the earliest films where Sridevi played an adult, despite being 12 or 13 years old.

Soundtrack
The music was composed by A. T. Ummer and the lyrics were written by Bichu Thirumala. The song "Thushaarabindukkale" was written by Bichu Thirumala for his play Dandakaranyam, and included in Aalinganam because Sasi liked it; though Kannur Rajan composed that song, he was not credited for it.

Accolades
At the Kerala State Film Awards, Ummer won the award for Best Music Director, and Janaki won for Best Female Playback Singer.
