Beloved Woman) is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by K. Selva Bharathy.
It revolves around a working woman in a struggling family marrying a billionaire for the upbringing of her poor family and the distress she receives from her NRI husband with non-Indian cultural shades but later realises about the importance of Indian culture and marriage and then becomes a loving and caring husband.
Having pursued his education in the US, he is highly Westernised and spends his time partying and enjoying with his friends Chandru and Sowmya instead of managing his father's business.
So she decides to sacrifice her life and marry Vijay, accepting the conditions of his marriage agreement, for the sake of her family.
On Priya's insistence, Vijay decides to work in his father's office, where he gets to know about the embezzlement made by his office employees Manohar, who is Vijay's uncle and Sowmya's father, and 7 Times, Priya's crude and uncouth uncle who lusts for her.
Priya is deeply hurt by Vijay's behaviour, and she also gets verbally harassed by many men for accepting an "agreement" marriage.
Vijay continues his carefree lifestyle for some more days until he sees an old beggar carrying his paralysed wife on his back and begging at a traffic signal.
This incident makes Vijay realise his mistake, understand the Indian culture and feel guilty that even an old and poor beggar can take care of his wife, while he could not.
Vijay retaliates by saying that Priya did marry him and accepted the conditions in his agreement, not out of love for him, nor with the intention to reform him, but to use his money to fix the various issues in her family.
After Ninaithen Vandhai (1998), K. Selva Bharathy and Vijay had considered collaborating again on a project titled Thalatta Varuvala co-starring Isha Koppikar and Rambha, but later chose to select a different script.
