Kadhalum Kadanthu Pogum (transl. Love too shall pass) is a 2016 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Nalan Kumarasamy in his second feature film after Soodhu Kavvum. Produced by C. V. Kumar under his Thirukumaran Entertainment banner, with K. E. Gnanavel Raja also co-producing the film under Studio Green, it stars Vijay Sethupathi with Madonna Sebastian, the latter in her Tamil film debut.[2] It is an official remake of the 2010 Korean film My Dear Desperado.[3]
The film focuses about a rowdy and an IT professional whom share a special bond when they live as neighbours.

The principal shooting of the film began in April 2015 and ended that July, with film being set mostly in Chennai.

The film was released on 11 March 2016 to received rave reviews from critics who mostly praised the performances of Sethupathi and Madonna but opened with low reception and become an above average success.[4][5]
