Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal (transl. Two loves in a breeze) is a 2022 Indian Tamil-language romantic comedy film written and directed by Vignesh Shivan. It was produced by him under Rowdy Pictures, and co-produced by S. S. Lalit Kumar under Seven Screen Studio. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara and Samantha in the lead roles alongside Prabhu, Kala Master, Redin Kingsley, Lollu Sabha Maaran and Shihan Hussaini. It follows a perpetually unlucky man whose luck changes when he falls in love with two women.
The film was initially announced in 2016. However, it was stalled, and Vignesh moved on to other projects. In February 2020, Vignesh re-announced the film. Principal photography commenced that December. It was shot in several locations including Chennai, Hyderabad, Pondicherry, Mysore, and wrapped by late-March 2022. The film has music composed by Anirudh Ravichander, cinematography jointly handled by S. R. Kathir with Vijay Kartik Kannan and editing by A. Sreekar Prasad.
Kaathuvaakula Rendu Kaadhal was released theatrically on 28 April 2022. It received mixed reviews from critics and audiences, who praised the performances of the main cast, soundtrack and background score but criticised the outdated script, length and climax. Despite this, the film was financially successful, grossing over ₹70 crore (US$8.3 million) at the box office.
