Kaadhal Kondein (also spelled as Kadhal Konden ; English: I fell in love) is a 2003 Indian Tamil psychological thriller film written and directed by Selvaraghavan, starring his brother Dhanush and newcomer Sonia Agarwal in lead roles, whilst newcomers Sudeep Sarangi, Nagesh and Daniel Balaji play supporting roles. The film, which has music scored by noted musician Yuvan Shankar Raja and cinematography handled by Arvind Krishna, released on 4 July 2003, winning critical acclaim and becoming a commercial success upon release, and is considered as the breakthrough film of Dhanush that catapulted him into the main foray of lead actors in the Tamil film industry. The film was later remade in Bangladesh in 2004 as Onno Manush directed by Kazi Hayat starting Kazi Maruf, Shabnur and Shakil Khan. The film was later remade in Telugu in 2004, as Nenu with Allari Naresh and Veda replacing Dhanush and Sonia Agarwal, respectively. It has also been remade in Kannada in 2009, as Ravana with Yogeesh Hunsoor and Sanchita Padukone in the lead, and in Bengali in 2010, as Amanush starring Soham Chakraborty and Srabanti Malakar.

The story explores the mind of a youth who is mentally and physically abused in his childhood. The lack of a mother's love haunts the protagonist throughout the film as the girl of his infatuation is killed. Becoming a psychopath, he desperately tries to woo his newly found lady love and his efforts culminate in a superb nail-biting cliffhanger.

Synopsis

Vinod (Dhanush), who has grown up under the care of a church father (Nagesh), is an introvert but a genius. He is forcibly sent to college by the father but is a complete misfit in class. Though shunned by the rest of his class, Divya (Sonia Agarwal) becomes his friend and he gradually warms up to her. His feelings soon turn into love but he realizes that Divya considers him as only a friend and learns that Divya is in love with another classmate, Aadhi (Sudeep Sarangi).
