Starring: Silambarasan, Trisha

Billed as 'an AR Rahman musical in a Gautham Vasudev Menon film', and starring Silambarasan and Trisha, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya (Will you cross the skies for me?) is one of 2010's most anticipated Tamil movies.

For aspiring filmmaker Karthik (Silambarasan), his world is filled with scripts and screenplays until Jessie (Trisha) crosses his path - and it's love at first sight. He decides that she is the one for him and the story captures a year in the life of the couple, exploring the question of whether or not he gets the girl as Karthik follows Jessie to the lush locales of her Kerala homeland and beyond. Described by Menon as a 'simple love story', his follow-up to Vaaranam Aayiram, which won him a National award, includes scenes shot in Malta and New York. Scoring his first Tamil film since his double Oscar win, AR Rahman takes his music in fresh and new directions.
