Directed by Suresh Krishna · Music by Bharadwaj · 2002
Youth-against-corruption action film. Below-par box office result.
This was Vijay's film 32 of 69 as a lead actor — counted from his debut Naalaiya Theerpu (1992) — released in 2002 during the 2000s.
A campus romance that connected with college audiences; remake of the Telugu film Chirunavvuto.
Youth (2002) remains a notable chapter in Vijay's long cinema journey — part of the wide-ranging, genre-spanning filmography he built during the 2000s on the way to becoming one of Tamil cinema's most enduring icons and, eventually, Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu.
