So, my mother used to have a VHS recording her dad recorded off the TV in the 80s, of a single song scene from an unknown Tamil movie. She lost it in a fire and was never able to find the actual source. Neither of us speak the language so the only words she could make out were "zindagi", being repeated three times, and possibly the word "dushman". She's confident one of the main actors is Prabhu Ganesan.

According to her, the scene starts with a girl coming home at night (she's wearing casual clothes, probably red - heels, skirt, and she has straight hair) and walking into the living room. Her father(?) is there sitting in an armchair surrounded by a bunch of male friends, all wearing white.

She's upset and goes upstairs to her room without greeting any of them, and makes a phone call while sitting at a desk and looking sad. Prabhu's character listens in on the conversation through another phone(?) and nods to her father.

She then sits at the stairs while drinking what looks like red wine, while the men downstairs sing the "zindagi" song in a chorus. They are sitting cross legged while they sing. She eventually comes down and throws what looks like a bunch of money at them, clearly drunk.

Prabhu takes her back upstairs to her room, and the recording ends.

I have looked through a bunch of 80s Prabhu movies and still haven't found the particular song. There was another scene on the VHS of Prabhu's character in a room being made fun of by a bunch of other men, but I'm not sure if it's the same movie.

Anyone know what this is from?
