Enakkul Oruvan (1984)

A popular young musician begins to suffer flashes of memory: a place he has never visited, a face he does not know, a death he can still feel. Following the clues, he discovers that he may be the reincarnation of a man killed years earlier by his scheming wife, who is still living on the fortune she took. Enakkul Oruvan ("the one within me") is the Tamil remake of the Hindi hit Karz (1980), and Kamal Haasan plays both incarnations, with Sripriya as the deadly widow and a young Sathyaraj in a villain's role. Ilaiyaraaja's songs give the film its own musical identity, and it remains a favourite among Kamal Haasan's 1980s commercial films.
