Naan Oru Malaysian (transl. I am a Malaysian) is a 1991 Malaysian Tamil-language film directed by Suhan Panchacharam starring himself. This was the first Tamil film to be made by Malaysians and shot in Malaysia.[1][2][3][4] The first Tamil film to be made by Tamil Malaysians was Ratha Pei (1969); however, that film was shot in India.[5]

Suhan "Pansha" Panchacharam,[8] who starred in the Tamil television series Adutha Veedu made his directorial debut with this film. The film was shot on 35 mm movie film.[1]

Themes and influences

The scene where the heroine proves her virginity by walking in fire similar to Sita in Ramayana was viewed critically by females.[6]

Box office

The film ran for a week and collected RM 150,000. The film ran full house at Federal Cinema in Kuala Lumpur. The political tension between two rival political parties negatively impacted collections.[1] Later Tamil films such as Chemman Sallai, Andaal and Uyir were better received than this film.[9]
