Plot

Oru Viral narrates the story of two sons of a rich man who is murdered, and the hunt for the murderer. Stories of a haunting skeleton circulate in the estate owned by the murdered man. An employee of the estate (Kannan), who is actually a convict on the run, is being chased by a detective (Srinivasan) who obtains work in the estate to keep tabs on him.

  • Production

    At a period when murder mysteries and detective stories were not exploited as genres in Tamil cinema, Oru Viral was a "surprise package", being made on a shoestring budget with artistes who were then newcomers or less popular. Krishna Rao and Thengai Srinivasan made their acting debut with this film, and the film's title became prefixed to Krishna Rao's name. Other supporting actors included K. Kannan, Prem Anand, Pandarinath, Malaysia Radhika, V. R. Thilakam and Meenakumari. Salvador Fernandez, also a newcomer, produced the film.

    Music

    The music was composed by Vedha and the lyrics were written by Alangudi Somu. Two songs from the film — "Malligai Mottu" by P. Susheela, and "Vun Thevai" by her and T. M. Soundararajan — attained popularity.

    Reception

    Despite its low budget and lack of stars, the film was successful, being praised for the storyline and the way it was narrated onscreen. In September 2012, film historian Randor Guy stated that the film would be remembered for the "interesting storyline", the performances of the cast and the background score.
