Mynaa is a 2010 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed and written by Prabu Solomon. Jointly distributed by Udhayanidhi Stalin and Kalpathi S. Aghoram,[2] it stars Vidharth, Amala Paul and Thambi Ramaiah. The soundtrack by D.

The film received critical acclaim and won the Best Film Award at the 58th Filmfare Awards South.[6][7][8] Ramaiah went on to win the National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor in 2011. Mynaa became a major success and ended as a blockbuster among 2010 Diwali releases and was released along with Dhanush's Uthamaputhiran.
