Thiruda Thiruda is a 1993 Indian Tamil-language black comedy caper film directed by Mani Ratnam written along with Ram Gopal Varma. In 1994, the film premièred at the Toronto International Film Festival. It also won the National Film Award for Best Special Effects.
The film's songs are notable for two reasons, the introduction of relatively unknown vocalists into mainstream Tamil playback singing and the extensive use of experimental sounds in South Indian cinema. While vocalist Annupamaa in the technopop song Chandralekha and the Chinese singer Caroline[ in Thee Thee sang their first mainstream songs, the late singer Shahul Hameed was roped in to sing the A capella number Raasathi. The song Veerapandi Kottayile became a big hit across South India, inspiring the tune for a popular Malayalam slogan, "Thekku Thekkoru Deshathu".
