Thenmazhai (transl. Honey Rain) is a 1966 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film, directed by Muktha Srinivasan and produced by V. Ramasamy.^[1] The film stars Gemini Ganesan and K. R. Vijaya, with Major Sundarrajan, Nagesh, Cho, Sachu and Manorama in supporting roles. It was released on 23 September 1966.^[2]

Plot

Basker is a sleepwalker. Nagalingam accuses Basker of killing Chithambaram while in sleep and uses it to blackmail him into performing various acts. Nirmala is in love with Basker and married him in secrecy. Finally, Nagalingam wants Basker to marry a rich girl, Girija, and give all the dowry money to him in return for destroying the evidence Nagalingam allegedly has of Basker's guilt. Nirmala's brother, Venu and Chithambaram's son, Vasu, combine their resources to expose Nagalingam as the killer of Chithambaram.

Indra acts as the romantic angle between Vasu and Venu as they vie for her attention with the former acting as a doctor to get her respect and the latter acting as an paralytic patient to get her sympathy in an attempt to impress her providing the comedic angle as well as prove their mettle and ingenuity which comes in handy to handle the cunning Nagalingam.
