Kaalamellam Kadhal Vaazhga (transl. Long live love) is a 1997 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by R. Balu in his debut and produced by Sivasakthi Pandian. The film featured Murali alongside Kausalya, in her Tamil debut role, while Gemini Ganesan, Manivannan, Charle, Vivek, and *Karan play supporting roles. This film completed 200 days at the box office and was a 'blockbuster hit'. The film was remade in Kannada as Kushalave Kshemave with Ramesh Aravind and Srilakshmi.

Plot[]

Jeeva (Murali) is the college boy and singer (with bundles of commitments belonging to the lower middle class) who enchants the rich college girl Kausalya (Kausalya) (new face - with girl next door looks) with his musical skills. Kausalya, the music buff who is in the habit of appreciating good singers over the phone, does it with Jeeva also. The telephonic voice of Kausalya turns out to have a tremendously magical romantic effect upon the hero, who besides falling in love head over heels with her, wants to see her.

Production[]

Following the release of director Agathiyan's Kadhal Kottai (1996), aspiring director Balu claimed that Agathiyan had stolen the story of the film from his half-complete venture Un Ninaivaaga. To appease Balu, producer Sivasakthi Pandian offered him the chance to make a film for his production studio.^[1] The film was named after a song from Kadhal Kottai. Kavitha made her Tamil debut with this film, and Balu gave her the screen name Kausalya.^[2][3]

A critic from Indolink.com stated that "overall, if it is a long time since you saw a movie with good comedy, above average music and crystal clear photography, here is one for you."^[4]
