Kudaikul Mazhai

Venkat finds himself in a spot when suddenly a young, modern, good-looking Madhumita follows him everywhere, proclaiming her love for him. He knows that she's too big a catch for him and even tells her so, but when she goes on in a romantic vein, he yields to the temptation. And that spells his doom for it has been a charade all along. The shock is too much for the mild mannered Venkat. The affected, cobwebbed mind begins to develop schizophrenic tendencies.

The film was originally titled Nee + Naan, though Parthiban chose to rename it Kudaikul Mazhai (transl. Rain in an umbrella) as the story was about his character's first love and felt that the experience metaphors an experience of rain inside an umbrella.^[1] The scenes were shot with a steady cam and 435 cameras, using sophisticated techniques, with scenes usually filmed at night.^[2] Many of the scenes were shot at a huge set erected at Pallavaram by art director R K Vijaymurugan.^[3] The film was completed with little publicity and promotion, with Parthiban noting he did not want his audience to come to the cinema halls with preconceived ideas about the film.^[4]

The music was composed by Karthik Raja.^[5]
