Horseshoe)[1] is a 2009 Indian Tamil-language gangster thriller film written and directed by Prabhu Solomon and produced by Ponnurangam.

[2][3] The film stars debutant Arun Joghee and Charmy Kaur, while Kota Srinivasa Rao, Jayaprakash, Dheeraj Kher and Manorama play supporting roles.

Upon release, the film was dubbed into Telugu as 16 Days with an additional scene with Dharmavarapu Subrahmanyam.

He manages to find place to stay with his distant relative Subramanyam, who is actually a defaulter on loans taken on interest.

On the other hand, Angel grows as an orphan and works with a mineral water company.

A twist of fate occurs, and Pavadai's goons mistake Kunjidhapadam to be Subrahmanyam and get him to take money.

He meets Angel, and both plan to stay in actor Vadivelu's house/Sunil's house (in the Telugu dubbed version).

Charmy Kaur took Tamil lessons to become fluent in the language prior to the film, and she also underwent training in motorcycle riding for her role.

The film in October 2008, faced a high court order staying its release.

But, midway through the making, the movie was sold outright to Cosmos Enterprises for a sum of Rs.

The high court has given a period of two weeks for Cosmos Enterprises to file an explanation.
