Thattungal Thirakkappadum (transl. Knock, and the door will be opened) is a 1966 Indian Tamil-language thriller film directed by J. P. Chandrababu. Savitri Ganesh, K. R. Vijaya, Shoba (credited as Baby Mahalakshmi), Chandrababu and Manohar star, while A. V. M. Rajan, Cho and M. R. R. Vasu play supporting roles. Shoba made her debut film as a child artist in this film.[2] The film was released on 17 June 1966.[3][4] When the film was released, the clip of the song Kalyana Panthal Alangaram was not in the film due to a delay in the shooting and editing. In the second week, the clip was merged into the film. The film was a failure due to a weak plot.[5][6]
