Nagarame Nanni is a 1967 Malayalam language film written by M. T. Vasudevan Nair and directed by A. Vincent. The film stars Prem Nazir, Usha Nandhini, Madhu and K. P. Ummer among others.[1][2][3] The film tells the story of a family that migrates from a village to the city of Madras in search of a better life. The plot is similar to the 1965 film The Conquerors of the Golden City directed by Getin Gurtop and the 1964 film Birds of Exile (Gurbet Kuslari in Turkish) by Halit Refig.[4] K. Balachander's Tamil film Pattina Pravesham (1977) was plagiarised from all these three films.[4]
