Ghilli is an action-romantic film about a stranger who finds himself as the helping hand for a girl who is chased after a powerful local seeks her hand in marriage. Prakash Raj plays the antagonist in the film, which was directed by Dharani. From its nail-biting kabaddi match sequences to the foot-tapping dance numbers like Appadi Podu, Ghilli has all the aspects that a commercial film requires. It is one of the most famous films in Vijay’s career and was a blockbuster success upon release in 2004.

Shankar and Kamal Haasan have joined hands once again, with the actor reprising his older role. Indian's music was composed by AR Rahman. Tracks like Telephone Manipol and Pachai Kiligal became instant and evergreen hits.

Alaipayuthey

A film by Mani Ratnam, Alaipayuthey is a romantic drama starring Madhavan and Shalini.
