Valar Pirai () is a 1962 Indian Tamil-language drama film, directed by D. Yoganand. The film stars Sivaji Ganesan and B. Saroja Devi. It was released on 30 March 1962.
Plot The plot of this film revolves around a child born to the protagonist Kanagu (Sivaji Ganesan) and Saraswathi (Saroja Devi). Because the child was born in the Rohini constellation with the umbilical cord wrapped around its neck while still in Saraswathi's womb, the film's story briefly depicts how the child's astrological influence leads to the death of Saraswathi's brother, Varatharajan (Javar Seetharaman), after much suffering. Furthermore, the film illustrates the mythological belief that death is certain for the maternal uncle of a child born in the Rohini constellation.
