Plot

Vasudevan aka Vasu belongs to a middle-class family and is irresponsible and untrustworthy. Vijayalakshmi aka Viji is from a traditional Telugu family and is an ambitious and career-oriented girl. Vasu and Viji meet up, and one day, he follows her on her two-wheeler. She is so bugged by him that she fails to notice a vehicle ahead. Though he cautions her, she ends up having an accident. Vasu admits her in the hospital, but Viji holds him responsible for her accident. Both of them are at loggerheads and bicker constantly. Vasu leaves for Chennai in order to prove himself to his father, who is constantly criticising his irresponsibility. Meanwhile, Viji gets a job at Chennai and moves into the same apartment complex as Vasu. The rest of the story follows Vasu's progress and deals with relationship between Vasu and Viji and whether or not their attitude for each other changed. Viji falls in love with Vasu, but he acts to hate her because she made him and his whole family separated. So in the middle, something happens, and they both end up loving each other. Vasu also got back together with his family after a couple of twists.

Production

Thiruda Thirudi is the directorial debut of Subramaniam Siva,[6] and the first Tamil film for producer S. K.

The soundtrack was composed by Dhina.[12] "Manmadha Rasa" became a popular song.[8]

Release and reception

Thiruda Thirudi was released on 5 September 2003.[13] A critic from Screen noted "it was an offbeat love story marked by good performance by Dhanush which makes it a breezy entertainer."[14] Malathi Rangarajan of The Hindu wrote "ARMED WITH a well-worked out success formula, new director Subramaniam Siva confidently enters the fray in Indian Theatre Production's "Thiruda Thirudi". He compensates for his flimsy storyline with screenplay that moves at full speed till the first half, sagging slightly only in the second, and dialogue that's completely in with the trend with all kinds of weird coinage typical of today's youth".[15] Visual Dasan of Kalki praised the performance of Dhanush, Chaya Singh and Manikka Vinayagam and direction but panned the unnecessary vulgar scenes and dialogues.[16]

The film was the second most successful Tamil film of the year.[1] It was later remade in Telugu as Donga Dongadi, where Manikka Vinayagam would reprise his role as the male lead's father. It was also remade in Kannada as Sakha Sakhi, where Chaya Singh reprised her role as the female lead.[17][18]
