Apoorva Raagangal (English: Rare Melodies; Tamil: அபூர்வ ராகங்கள்) (1975) is a Tamil film directed by K. Balachander. This film was controversial upon release as it examines relationships between people with wide age gaps, which challenge Indian social mores.

The two are slowly drawn to each other and decide to marry in spite of their age gap, and a past relationship that Bhairavi is still inextricably tied to. In the meantime, Prasanna's father (Major Sundararajan) embarks on a relationship with the young girl Ranjini (Jayasudha). But we soon find out that Ranjini is actually Bhairavi's daughter. Both relationships arrive at a dilemma with the revelation of an unexpected twist.
