Iniyengilum (transl. If only) is a 1983 Indian Malayalam-language social problem film directed by I. V. Sasi, written by T. Damodaran and produced by N. G. John. It stars Mohanlal, Ratheesh, Lalu Alex, Ranipadmini, Seema, and Mammootty. The film features music composed by Shyam. The film juxtaposes the economic and cultural conditions of Kerala and Japan.
The film tells the story of a young idealist, Ravi (Mohanlal), who is nauseated by the hypocrisy of his politician brother (Mammootty). To hit back at the prevailing corrupt political system, Ravi stages cultural shows under the banner of the Darshana Kala Kendra, which is a group of unemployed youth. Iniyengilum was a commercial success at the box office.
