Payanangal Mudivathillai (English: Journeys Never End) is a 1982 Indian Tamil-language film directed by R. Sundarrajan. The film stars Mohan, Poornima Bhagyaraj in the lead roles. It was released on 26 February 1982. The film was a blockbuster and completed a 900-day run at the box office. Music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. Both the lead actors won Filmfare Awards in their respective categories.
It was remade in Hindi as Kallakar
Music was composed by Ilaiyaraaja. He had composed the song "Ilaya Nila" initially for Moodu Pani (1980), but that film's director Balu Mahendra rejected it. The song "Vaigaraiyil" is set in the raga Shubhapantuvarali. The tune of "Ilaya Nila" was later reused in the Hindi song "Neele Neele Ambar Par", sung by Kishore Kumar for Kalakaar (1983), and "Yeh Aatha" was remixed by Mani Sharma in Malaikottai (2007).
Ananda Vikatan rated the film 48 out of 100.
