Veedu (English: House) is a 1988 Tamil drama film written and directed by Balu Mahendra, starring Archana, which depicts the difficulties of a middle class family in building a house. Mahendra, besides directing, worked as the script writer, cinematographer and editor as well. Featuring musical score by Ilaiyaraaja, the film earned high critical acclaim, securing two National Film Awards. It is widely considered as one of Mahendra's finest films.
Balu Mahendra stated that Veedu was a tribute to his mother. He recalls that her mother started building a house when he was eight years old, which affected her and her family. Mahendra cites: "She was not the same after that. She became temperamental. She forgot to laugh. She had no time to teach us or play with us. The changes confused me. Years later, Veedu brought this transformation to life." Mahendra several year later named Veedu as one of the only two directorials he was satisfied with (the other being Sandhya Raagam), since he made "the least number of mistakes in these films." The entire film score notably consists of Ilaiyaraaja's composition from his How To Name It? album. The film doesn't feature any songs.
