60 Vayadu Maaniram or 60 Vayathu Maaniram also known as Arubathu Vayadu Maaniram (English: 60 years fair looking) is a 2018 Indian Tamil drama thriller film written and directed by Radha Mohan.[2] This movie is the remake of 2016 Kannada film Godhi Banna Sadharana Mykattu.[3][4] The film stars Vikram Prabhu, Prakash Raj, Indhuja and Samuthirakani in main lead roles.[5] This film is produced by popular producer and distributor Kalaipuli S. Thanu under his production company V Creations.[6]
The film revolves around Govindarajan (Prakash Raj), a sixty-year old man who suffers from Alzheimer's disease, goes missing. His son Shiva (Vikram Prabhu) who is worried by his father's disappearance embarks on a search with a female doctor. Govindarajan gets entangled with a killer who has committed a murder. The rest of the film involves whether Shiva finds his father or not.[7]
The film's score and soundtrack are scored by music maestro Isaignani Ilaiyaraaja, collaborating with the director for the first time.[8] M.S. Vivekanand, T.S. Jai and K.
