Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (transl. Two loves in a breeze) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Vignesh Shivan, and produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar under Seven Screen Studio. It stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha alongside Prabhu, Kala Master, Redin Kingsley, Lollu Sabha Maaran and Shihan Hussaini. The film follows Rambo, a perpetually unlucky man whose luck changes when he falls in love with two women.
The film was officially announced in 2016 under the official title. However, Shivan and Sethupathi began working on other projects. Until, in 2020, after Shivan's film with Sivakarthikeyan was shelved, he revisited the script and began production that year. Principal photography commenced in December 2020. It was shot in several locations including Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Mysore, and wrapped by late-March 2022. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography jointly handled by S. R. Kathir with Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.
Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal was released theatrically on 28 April 2022. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the performances of the main cast, soundtrack and background score but criticized the outdated script, length and climax. Despite mixed reviews the film was financially successful, grossing over ₹70 crore (US$8.4 million) at the box office.[4]
