Varavu Nalla Uravu (transl. Good family relations are valued) is a 1990 Indian Tamil-language drama film, written and directed by Visu and produced by Kavithalayaa Productions. The film stars Visu, Annapoorna, Rekha, Vidhyashree, Kishmu and Ilavarasan. It is about two contrasting families with its patriarchs being best friends. While one family is a happy one to start with, the other is a machine-like family devoid of love.

Varavu Nalla Uravu is loosely based on the 1937 film Make Way for Tomorrow, and was remade into Telugu as Dabbu Bhale Jabbu and in Malayalam as Achan Kombathu Amma Varampathu.[1] The film was released on 5 April 1990,[2] and Visu won the Tamil Nadu State Film Award for Best Story Writer.[3][4]
