Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu (transl. The colour of poverty is red) is a 1980 Indian Tamil-language satirical drama film written and directed by K. Balachander. The film stars Kamal Haasan and Sridevi, with Pratap Pothen, R. Dilip and S. Ve. Shekher in supporting roles. It revolves around a group of Tamils in Delhi struggling with poverty and unemployment.
Varumaiyin Niram Sivappu was simultaneously shot in Telugu as Aakali Rajyam (transl. Kingdom of hunger). It was released on 6 November 1980, and Aakali Rajyam on 9 January 1981. The film was a commercial success, winning three Filmfare Awards South and Tamil Nadu State Film Awards. It was remade in Hindi as Zara Si Zindagi (1983) with Haasan reprising his role, and Balachander again directing.
