Nilave Mugam Kaattu (English: Show Moon's Face) is a 1999 Indian Tamil film, directed by Kalanjiyam, starring Karthik, Ramki and Devayani in lead roles. The film, produced by S. Rajaram had musical score by Ilaiyaraaja and was released on 30 April 1999 to negative reviews.
The film is a remake of the Kannada movie Anuraga Sangama (1995) starring Ramesh Aravind, Kumar Govind and Sudharani which itself was inspired by Charlie Chaplin's City Lights.
Murthy (Karthik) and Prakash (Ramki) become best friends since Prakash's father (Nizhalgal Ravi) killed Murthy's mother in a car accident. Despite his father's refusal, Prakash takes Murthy into his house. But Prakash's parents do not like their son making friendship with Murthy who is poor and they consider it to be a status issue.
A few years later, when Prakash goes to the US to study. Meanwhile, Prakash's parents scold Murthy with a plan to make him leave their house. Murthy feels bad and decides to leave Prakash's house without informing anyone. An old police constable accommodates Murthy who treats him like his late son Govind and the man begins to call him by that name. Murthy also comes under the identity of Govind now and starts working in an apartment by helping the residents of that apartment. Murthy has a percussion instrument and plays his favourite tune always. Murthy meets Kasturi (Devayani) a blind flower seller and falls in love with her. Kasturi also likes Murthy's character after he saved her from a few thugs who tried to molest her. Kasturi's father (Delhi Ganesh) is a drunkard and dies in an accident which leaves Kasturi alone. Murthy takes care of Kasturi now and takes her to a doctor (Srividya) with an aim of getting her vision. The doctor advises Kasturi to undergo a surgery following which there are chances for getting her vision. In order to pay for the operation, Murthy takes some money from a drunk man's house. In a misunderstanding, he gets arrested by the police and is sent to jail.
