Visappinte Vili (transl. Call of hunger) is a 1952 Indian Malayalam-language drama film directed by Mohan Rao and produced by Kunchacko and K. V. Koshi under the banner of K&K Combines. It stars Prem Nazir, Thikkurissy Sukumaran Nair, Kumari Thankam, Pankajavalli, Nanukuttan, Mathappan, S. P. Pillai and Baby Girija.
It was the second film in the career of Prem Nazir. It was on the sets of this film that he was renamed Prem Nazir by Thikkurussi Sukumaran Nair. He was credited as Abdul Khader in his debut film Marumakal. Visappinte Vili became the break in his career. Made on a low budget, the film became the highest-grossing film of the year. There were ten other releases in 1952, out of which only Amma enjoyed success.[1]
The film ran for 50 days in 7 release centers.[2]
The film was remade by K. J. Mohan Rao in Tamil as Pasiyin Kodumai and released on 28 November 1952. Paa. Adhimoolam wrote the dialogues.[3][4]

Critical reception
[edit | edit source]Cynic of Mathrubhumi wrote, "Prem Nazir's perfect facial expression and uncluttered speech style is a special merit. The face of this young man has not lost its charm, and if he matures and gains more manhood, Prem Nazir may become one of the most important actors in Malayalam cinema."[7]
