'''''Ellorum Nallavare''''' ({{translation|All people are good}}) is a 1975 Indian [[Tamil language|Tamil]]-language film, directed and produced by [[S. S. Balan]]. It is a remake of the 1974 [[Kannada]] film ''[[Bhootayyana Maga Ayyu]]''.<ref>http://www.mayyam.com/talk/archive/index.php/t-11002-p-7.html</ref> It was simultaneously produced in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] and [[Hindi]] languages as '''''Andaroo Manchivare''''' ({{translation|Everyone is good}}) and '''''Ek Gaon Ki Kahani''''' ({{translation|The story of a village}}). The trilingual was the last production of [[Gemini Studios]]; except for the Telugu version, it emerged a [[box-office bomb]] and led to the studio's collapse.
