Kudiyirundha Koyil is a 1968 Indian Tamil-language spy film directed by K. Shankar. The film stars M. G. Ramachandran, Jayalalithaa and Rajasree, with L. Vijayalakshmi, Pandari Bai, M. N. Nambiar, Sundarrajan, V. K. Ramasamy, S. V. Ramadas and Nagesh in supporting roles. A remake of the 1962 Hindi film China Town, it revolves around twins who become separated as children: one who grows up to be a criminal, and the other who is tasked with apprehending him. Kudiyirundha Koyil was released on 15 March 1968. The film was a box office success, running for more than 100 days in theatres, and became a turning point in Ramachandran's career. For his performance, he won his first Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Actor. The soundtrack was composed by M. S. Viswanathan. The song "Thulluvadho Ilamai" belongs to Pasodoble, a Spanish musical genre, and is also set to Mayamalavagowla, a Carnatic raga. "Kunguma Pottin Mangalam" was the only film song written by Roshanara Begum in her life. "Naan Yaar? Nee Yaar?" earned Pulamaipithan recognition as a lyricist. The song "Ennai Theriyuma" was later remixed by Achu for a film with the same name, and "Aadaludan Paadalai" was remixed by Amresh Ganesh for Motta Shiva Ketta Shiva (2017).
