Couple) is a 1999 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy drama film directed by Praveenkanth and produced by Sunanda Murali Manohar.
Gayathri understands that Kannan has no role in the stealing of the song and he got money from the troop for fixing their repaired music instruments.
Kannan's father Rudramurthy works at a registrar office where he witnesses many marriages take place without the consent of couple's parents.
Gayathri's friend and her lover commit suicide due to pressure put up by the parents against their love.
Kannan attempts to solve his problem by visiting the vocalist's house and explains the current condition of Vengudu.
However, on the day of the marriage, Sivabalan sings the love song written by Kannan for Gayathri, which she sang in the music contest.
Sunanda Murali Manohar was keen to film Tamil versions of A. R. Rahman's songs from the Hindi film Doli Saja Ke Rakhna (1998) as a music album, and discussed making the project with director Praveenkanth, cinematographer Jeeva and choreographer Raju Sundaram.
[4] Praveen first approached Vijay to play the lead role, but his refusal meant that Prashanth, who had appeared in Manohar's earlier productions Jeans (1998) and Kaadhal Kavidhai (1998), was selected.
[5] Aishwarya Rai was offered the female lead role after the success of her previous Tamil film, Jeans, but her busy schedule in Hindi films and her decision to prioritise her work in Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000), resulted in Simran eventually being cast in the role.
Trisha, winner of the Miss Chennai 1999 beauty pageant, made an appearance in a role as a friend of Simran's character.
[10] The director went ahead with using five of Rahman's earlier tunes from Doli Saja Ke Rakhna,[11] with two new songs "Oru Poiyavadhu" and "Mel Nattu Isai" added.
[16] K. N. Vijiyan of New Straits Times wrote, "See [Jodi] for the songs, Prasanth, Simran and of course the humour.
[17] Reviewing the Telugu dubbed version, Gopalrao Griddaluru of Zamin Ryot wrote that the second half of the film is suspenseful with good twists and hits the hearts of the audience.
[19] A Hindi version of Jodi was planned by the director with different songs and small changes in the storyline, but the project never took off.
