Ellorum Nallavare (transl. All people are good) is a 1975 Indian Tamil-language film, directed and produced by S. S. Balan.[1] It is a remake of the 1974 Kannada film Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu.[2] It was simultaneously produced in Telugu and Hindi languages as Andaroo Manchivare (transl. Everyone is good) and Ek Gaon Ki Kahani (transl. The story of a village). The trilingual was the last production of Gemini Studios; except for the Telugu version, it emerged a box-office bomb and led to the studio's collapse.
