Annakili is a 1976 Tamil language film. It was directed by Devaraj Mohan. It was also notable for being Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja's first film.[1] The soundtrack to the film was a major success.[2][3] The film reportedly had a "South Indian rural theme", shot in a village Thengumarahada [1][4] and like later films, many of Ilayaraja's songs "fused Tamil folk music with Western classical and South Indian Carnatic music."[5]
The film was a blockbuster and completed a 196-day run at the box office.
