'''''Aadyathe Kanmani''''' ({{Translation|Firstborn}}) is a 1995 Indian [[Malayalam]]-language family drama film directed by [[Rajasenan]].

==Plot==
Balachandran Unnithan ([[Jayaram]]) is a singer who falls in love with Ambika([[Sudha Rani]]), a singer from his own troupe. They both end up getting married. Balachandran's family has been longing for a male child to inherit the family's wealth, but his elder brothers were having only female children. Ambika gets [[pregnant]]. Balachandran realizes that his wife is carrying a daughter, and not a son.

Later, he meets his old classmate and best friend, Padmarajan, whose wife Hema was also pregnant. She was bearing a male child. However, their babies were swapped by mistake by Balu's mother soon after delivery. Both Padmarajan and Balu must keep this as a secret to see their children. When Balu's relatives discover this, the babies get kidnapped by the [[antagonist]]s.
