Synopsis
Nila Kaalam is a 2001 Indian Tamil-language television film directed by Gandhi Krishna.
The film stars Roja and several child artists, including Master Udayaraj, who won the National Film Award for Best Child Artist.
The story follows three children — Nilaa, Amirdhalingam "Amar", and Balasubramaniam "Pulli" — who form a friendship with Nilaa, daughter of popular actress Veni (played by Roja).
The film is based on Sujatha's novel Andru Un Arukil.
The protagonists are three children — Nilaa (Baby Ranjini Pradeep), Amirdhalingam "Amar" (Master Dinesh) and Balasubramaniam "Pulli" (Master Udayaraj). The two boys work in a garage for the owner (Bala Singh) which is next to Nilaa's house.
Nilaa, daughter of a popular actress, Veni (Roja), who is estranged from her husband, has all the material comforts but yearns for company. Nilaa watches her mother shoot for a film with actor Ashok (Prabhu Deva). Soon, she strikes a friendship with the boys.
The children `plan' a picnic and Nilaa provides the car, food and the works. Their excitement knows no bounds. But that day proves to be the last one in their lives as they face various challenges.
