Thattungal Thirakkappadum (lit. 'Knock, and the door will be opened') is a 1966 Tamil-language thriller film. This movie was produced by Vishwabharathi films. R. S. Manohar, Savithri and J. P. Chandrababu took the lead roles while K. R. Vijaya, Cho Ramaswamy and A. V. M.

Radha and K. A. Thangavelu appeared as cameo roles.

In the second week, the clip was merged into the film. This movie was a failure due to a weak plot.
