Harichandra is a 1968 Indian Tamil-language Hindu mythological film, directed by K. S. Prakash Rao and produced by G. Varalakshmi, based on the life of Harishchandra.

Viswamithran challenges Rishi Vashista, who is the former's rival, that he will make Harichandra to lie or renege on his word.

Vishwamitran demands Harichandra to give over his kingdom as he had promised him the same in his dream.

Taking that the sage as revered as him would not bluff, Harichandra proceeds to hand it over and moves to Kasi.

Harichandra sells his wife and son to Kalakandan and pays the due but Nachandra asks for his fee for wasting his time.
