Chinna Mapillai (English: Younger Son-in-law) is a 1993 Indian Tamil-language film starring Prabhu Ganesan and Sukanya in lead roles. The film was a commercial success upon release in January 1993. It was remade in Telugu as Chinna Alludu (1993), in Hindi as Coolie No.1 (1995) and in Kannada as Coolie Raja (1999).
Prabhu is a kind-hearted poor man who works as a coolie in bus stand. Visu, a marriage broker wants him to pose as a rich man from Singapore and marry Sukanya to break the arrogance and her money-minded father (Radha Ravi). Her father finds out that he is a coolie. But Prabhu brilliantly lies that it is his younger brother. How he reforms both of them forms the story.
Ilaiyaraaja has composed the film's popular soundtrack and lyrics written by Vaali and Gangai Amaran.
