Respect for Love) is a 1997 Indian Tamil-language musical romantic drama film directed by Fazil.

The film stars Vijay and Shalini (reprising her role from the original), while Sivakumar, Srividya, K. P. A. C. Lalitha, Manivannan, Dhamu, Charle, Thalaivaasal Vijay, and Radha Ravi play supporting roles.

It tells the story of a couple of differing backgrounds and beliefs and how they unite amidst the opposition of their families.

It was also Shalini’s first Tamil film as a leading actress, having previously acted as a child artist.

Although his parents want him to marry a girl and settle down, Jeeva prefers to pursue MBA studies instead and is not interested in marriage.

Kalingeyan agrees to let the couple stay in his house and also defends them from Mini's brothers when they come to the slum to kill Jeeva.

Jeeva, his parents, Kesavan, and Raghavan go to Mini's house, where both families apologize to each other for what happened.

A reviewer from The Hindu mentioned that "Vijay brings to surface the soft nature of the love", while adding that the rest of the cast makes "fine contributions", and praising the director's work.
