Manimuzhakkam (lit.β'The Tolling of Bells') is a 1976 Malayalam-language film directed by P. A. Backer and starring Harikeshan Thampi, Veeran, Johnson, Sankaradi, Saritha, Urmila, Vani, cyril P Jacob, Charulatha, Santhakumari, Sreenivasan and Meena Ganesh. This is the debut film of Sreenivasan. The film was scripted by Backer based on the novel Murippaadukal by Sarah Thomas. It won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film in Malayalam and the Kerala State Film Award for Best Film. The film was shot in black-and-white even though colour films were common during those times (colour cinema became popular in Malayalam cinema only during 1978-1980 and good-quality colour films started being shot frequently only during 1983β1985).
