Kandukondain Kandukondain (also released internationally under the translated title I Have Found It) is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language romantic musical film directed and co-written by Rajiv Menon. Based on Jane Austen's 1811 novel Sense and Sensibility, it features an ensemble cast of Mammootty, Ajith Kumar, Tabu, Aishwarya Rai and Abbas. Veterans Manivannan, Srividya and Raghuvaran play supporting roles.[1][2] The film's soundtrack was scored by A. R. Rahman and the cinematographer was Ravi K. Chandran.[3][4]

After several delays, Kandukondain Kandukondain opened to Tamil Nadu audiences on 5 May 2000 and was commercially successful.[5] The producers released subtitled versions worldwide.[2][6] The film also won a National Film Award and two Filmfare Awards South, and was featured in international film festivals. It was dubbed and released in Telugu as Priyuralu Pilichindi.
