Alli

Alli is a 1964 Indian Tamil-language film directed and produced by S. S. Rajendran, who also stars alongside R. Vijayakumari and Sowcar Janaki in the title role.

The film follows Kannan, an idealistic police officer whose sense of duty transcends family ties and normal human sentiment. He overcomes cognitive dissonance and performs his duty to truth and justice, even when that means arresting loved ones.

At a pivotal moment in the film, Kannan books his own beloved when he discovers she is guilty of theft. The film ends with the reunion of the lovers, but with a twist: Kannan's beloved enters prison as an atonement for the crime she committed early in her life.

The film was released on 5 March 1964.
