Thiruvilayadal
The Hindu god Shiva gives a sacred mango fruit, brought by the sage Narada, to his elder son Vinayaka as a prize for outsmarting his younger brother Muruga in a competition. Angry with his father, Muruga leaves home for Palani. He meets Avvaiyar, one of his devotees, along the way. Despite her attempts to convince Muruga to return to Mount Kailash, he remains adamant about his decision to leave his family. His mother, the goddess Parvati, arrives there and tells the stories of four of Shiva's divine games to calm Muruga.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Thiruvilayadal is a solid entry rated 7.3/10. Not a masterpiece, but quality work that won't leave you disappointed.
A high rating speaks for itself — this film found its audience and didn't let them down. Trust the collective taste.
A classic from 1965. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: viewers looking to try something new without being too demanding.
