Alai Payuthey, directed by Mani Ratnam, was a massive hit in theaters back in 2000. The movie revolves around the lives of Karthik, an engineering graduate, and Shakti, a medical student. The couple fall in love after meeting at a wedding and get married against the wishes of their respective families. 

As they embark on their journey as a newly married couple, they realize that not everything is easy. However, despite conflicts, they stay together and reaffirm their love.
