Cast: Dulquer Salmaan, Nithya Menen, Prakash Raj, Leela Samson, Ramya.Direction: Mani Ratnam.Genre: Romance.Duration: 2 hours 18 minutes
Synopsis: Adhi and Tara are in a live-in relationship and but they are both unwilling to get married. How do they realize that marriage is just a natural progression of their relationship?

With some help from PC Sreeram, whose gorgeous, superbly-lit frames capture the beauty of both Mumbai and the cramped quarters of the lead couple, and AR Rahman, whose hip songs and background score, keeps the scenes throbbing, Mani Ratnam has given us a romantic film for this generation.
