Two loves in a breeze) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Vignesh Shivan.

The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha in the lead roles alongside Prabhu, Kala Master, Redin Kingsley, Lollu Sabha Maaran and Shihan Hussaini.

The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography jointly handled by S. R. Kathir with Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.

It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the performances of the main cast, soundtrack and background score but criticised the outdated script, length and climax.

Rambo's father, determined to break the curse, marries a local teacher named Minah Kaif while his brothers and sister remain unmarried.

When his mother suffers a seizure in his presence, he runs away from the village for good, believing that his proximity to her makes her ill. Rambo takes on two jobs to earn a living.

While driving his cab, Rambo also meets Kanmani Ganguly, a saleswoman who raises her younger sister Minmini and her differently-abled brother, Bhargav.

Though Rambo is surprised that two fabulous women have fallen for him, he quickly realises that only their love has turned his bad luck around for good, so he accepts both of their proposals.

When he is forced to go, his mother miraculously recovers, leading the village to believe Rambo's presence now brings good luck.

In 2016, Vignesh Shivan announced that Vijay Sethupathi would play the lead role in his next film, titled Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal; it would mark their second collaboration after Naanum Rowdy Dhaan (2015).

Produced by A. M. Rathnam, the film was supposed to go into production in August 2016,[3] but failed to materialise; Sethupathi moved on to act in Kavan (2017) and Vignesh decided to direct Thaanaa Serndha Koottam (2018).

[5] After this film was shelved,[6] on 14 February 2020 (Valentine's Day), Vignesh officially re-announced Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal with Sethupathi still attached.

[13] In the first look released on 15 November, Vignesh revealed the names of Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha's characters as Rambo, Kanmani and Khatija respectively.

Anirudh sang this song with female vocals accompanied by Shakthisree Gopalan and Aishwarya Suresh Bindra.

[34] The track received positive response from music critics, and actresses Priyanka Chopra shared and praised the song through social media.

[40] In an interview with Srinivasa Ramanujam of The Hindu, Ravi said "What's most heartening is that it is a melody, which itself is a difficult proposition for composers to churn out in this age of fast-paced peppy numbers.

[50] Soundarya Athimuthu of The Quint gave the rating 2.5 out of 5 stating that "The makers have hinted at it quite well because just like how Vijay Sethupathi as Rambo in the film smartly tries to justify cheating on two women at the same time, Director Vignesh Shivan with his quirky comedy, some beautifully placed emotional dialogues and heart touching lyrics also cheekily cheats the audience – making them believe that this is a one of a kind love story while all he did was, reimagine the rom-com genre by twisting the tale of the usual storyline – "two girls fight over a guy".

"[51] Manoj Kumar R of The Indian Express gave the film's rating 2 out of 5 stating that "The latent nature of adult comedy in this movie is a big turn off.

This film aims to play into the wild fantasies of a lovelorn man by subtly sexualising the leading ladies.

It also wants to be a combination of director C. S. Amudhan's Thamizh Padam, a spoof film, and Vignesh's 2015 hit Naanum Rowdy Dhaan.

"[55] Avinash Ramachandran from Cinema Express gave 2.5 out of rating and said that "For almost half its running time, Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal explores the idea of a specific type of mental illness.

'[56] Priyanka Thirumurthy of The News Minute gave 2.5 stars out of 5 and said that "Vijay Sethupathi has done an admirable job in the role given to him.
