Sigappu Rojakkal (English: Red Roses) is a 1978 Indian Tamil psychological thriller film starring Kamal Haasan and Sridevi. Co-Written and Directed by P. Bharathiraja, music by Ilaiyaraaja and cinematography by P. S. Nivas

In an era of over-dramatised acting in Tamil films, Sigappu Rojakkal was one of the notable and the best exceptions. The film was a blockbuster and completed a 175-day run at the box office. The film won two Filmfare Awards in the Best Actor and Best Director categories. This film was also remade in Hindi as Red Rose starring Rajesh Khanna and Poonam Dhillon in lead roles.

Synopsis

Dileep (Kamal Haasan) is a successful businessman with a dark side. He preys on nubile girls; tortures and kills them. These proceedings are video-recorded and watched by his adoptive father and mentor, another deranged woman-hater who, as with Dileep, had a disillusioning experience with the female sex in his past. The old man stays holed up in a far corner of Dileep's mansion watching his son carry out what he is too infirm to do. The murdered girls are buried in Dileep's garden and a rosebush is grown above.
