Directed by Kasthuri Raja · Music by Deva · 1997
Romantic tearjerker. Good music but moderate box office result.
This was Vijay's film 13 of 69 as a lead actor — counted from his debut Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) — released in 1997 during the 1990s.
A romantic drama continuing Vijay's run of love stories in the late 90s.
Kaalamellam Kaathiruppen (1997) remains a notable chapter in Vijay's long cinema journey — part of the wide-ranging, genre-spanning filmography he built during the 1990s on the way to becoming one of Tamil cinema's most enduring icons and, eventually, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
