Kushi (transl. Happiness) is a 2000 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by S. J. Suryah and produced by A. M. Rathnam. The film stars Vijay and Jyothika in the lead roles, while Mumtaj, Vijayakumar, Vivek and Nizhalgal Ravi and others in the supporting roles. The film's cinematography was done by Jeeva, while music was composed by Deva.

Kushi released on 19 May 2000. It was a blockbuster and was one of the highest-grossing Tamil films of 2000.[2]

Following the success of the film, the Telugu version, also titled Kushi (2001), though initially planned as a bilingual along with the Tamil version, was released a year later due to production delays.[3][4][5] The film was also remade in Hindi as Khushi (2003), and in Kannada as Eno Onthara (2010).
