Parakkum Paavai (English: The Flying Woman) is a 1966 Indian Tamil language film directed by T. R. Ramanna, starring M. G. Ramachandran, B. Saroja Devi, Kanchana and J. P. Chandrababu in the lead roles. The film ran for 80 days.

Jeeva (M. G. Ramachandran) promised Vedhatchalam (Chittor V. Nagaiah), father of Kala (B. Saroja Devi), to keep an eye on her. In order to do so, he becomes a trapeze artist in the National Circus in 1960s India.

It reigns over PARAKKUM PAAVAI a suspense deserving of Alfred Hitchcock's movies !

It was the eighth and last adventure between MGR and director-producer, T.R.Ramanna.

We can see, in the form of wink, very rested, their previous film collaborations, such as the drama PASSAM ( 1962 ) or still, next year, in 1963, the family saga PERIYA IDATHU PENN, from the first appearance of the character of MGR, preceded by that of the driver who parks the taxi, where are stuck the posters of the higher quoted movies.

We also perceive another realization of T.R.Ramanna, KUMARI PENN, produced by his brother-in-law E.V. Rajan, with in the principal roles, the stars, Ravichandran and Jayalalidha, taken out during the same year as PARAKKUM PAAVAI.

As it was the case on NALA NERAM for the producer Chinnappa Devar, PARAKKUM PAAVAI was for T.R.Ramanna, his first movie in color with the same MGR.

They enclosed their collaboration with MGR by a movie in color.

The movie starts by a credits in the form of cartoon create by Raki about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
