Anbulla Appa is a 1987 Indian Tamil-language drama film directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar. The movie stars legendary actor Shivaji Ganesan, Jai Ganesh, and Nadia Moidu in lead roles. The film revolves around the relationship between a father and his son. The movie begins with Arokkiya Samy (Shivaji Ganesan), a widower who lives with his son Selvam (Jai Ganesh) in a small village. Arokkiya Samy is a caring father, and he is loved and respected by everyone in the village. Selvam is a college student and a happy-go-lucky person who loves to spend time with his friends.

One day, Selvam meets Uma (Nadia Moidu) and falls in love with her. Uma is a confident and independent woman who is pursuing her studies in the city. Selvam and Uma decide to get married, but Selvam is worried about how his father will react to their relationship.

When Selvam tells his father about his love for Uma, Arokkiya Samy initially objects, but eventually comes around to the idea when he realizes how much his son cares for her. Arokkiya Samy visits Uma's family and asks for their permission to marry their daughter. Uma's father is not happy with the proposal, but her mother convinces him to accept Selvam as their son-in-law.

After the wedding, Selvam and Uma move to the city, and Arokkiya Samy is left alone in the village. He misses his son, but he is happy that Selvam is happy. However, things take a turn for the worse when Selvam dies in a tragic accident. Arokkiya Samy is devastated by his son's death and blames himself for not being there for him.

Uma, who is pregnant with Selvam's child, returns to the village to be with Arokkiya Samy. Arokkiya Samy is initially angry with Uma and blames her for Selvam's death, but eventually, they reconcile and form a bond. Arokkiya Samy accepts Uma as his daughter-in-law and takes care of her through her pregnancy.

The movie is a touching portrayal of the relationship between a father and son. Shivaji Ganesan, in his usual style, delivers a powerful performance as Arokkiya Samy.
