Naangal is a 1992 Tamil drama film directed by Hassan. The film features Prabhu, Sivaji Ganesan and Deepika Chikhalia in lead roles. The film, produced by T. Ajmal Hassan, had musical score by Ilaiyaraaja and was released on 13 March 1992.
Keerthi (Prabhu), an honest police officer, is charged to solve a double murder case. Keerthi faces up to another police officer Naveen Kumar (Captain Raju). Naveen Kumar who hungers for a promotion wants to take charge of this affair. Keerthi and Naveen Kumar finally fight, and the matter is taken up in court. Keerthi hires the lawyer Chaturvedi (Sivaji Ganesan), a senior lawyer who has never lost a case. Later, Chaturvedi has a heart attack and is taken care by the doctor Mona. He really likes the way she took care of him and he now considered her like his own daughter. The doctors Rajasekhar (Sarath Babu) and Mona (Deepika Chikhalia) suspect the hospital running by the doctor Johnson (Nassar) for doing illegal activities. Rajasekhar is later killed by someone, the presumed guilty is Mona according to the fingerprint on the murder weapon. Keerthi and Chaturvedi come to her rescue.
The film score and the soundtrack were composed by film composer Ilaiyaraaja. The soundtrack, released in 1992, features 5 tracks with lyrics written by Vaali and Gangai Amaran.
N. Krishnaswamy of The New Indian Express said "As the film's script is free from some of the cliches that constantly besiege Tamil films, Naangal is not without its merits as 'time passing' fare".
