A retrospective of Aravindan's films will be held at Kalabhavan Theatre on March 14 and 15, Academy sources here said.
Film buffs will get a chance to view his iconic movies including 'Utharayanam', 'Kanchana Sita', 'Chidambaram', 'Esthappan', 'Thambu', 'Vasthuhara'and 'Kummatti' as part of the event, they said.

'Munroe Island', the film chosen for this year's Aravindan Puraskaram, would also be screened.
The 'Puraskaram' would be presented during the closing ceremony on March 15, the sources said.
