Thirumalai is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language masala film written and directed by Ramana. The film stars Vijay and Jyothika in the lead roles, with Manoj K. Jayan, Avinash (in his Tamil debut), Vivek, Raghuvaran, Kausalya and Karunas in supporting roles. Produced by Kavithalayaa Productions banner, filming began in October 2002 and was planned for a January 2003 release coinciding with the Thai Pongal festival, along with Vijay's other romantic comedy film Vaseegara. Eventually, the delays due to the replacement of some actors and actresses caused the movie to release in late 2003, coinciding with Diwali.
Thirumalai released on 24 October 2003 and was declared as a blockbuster at the box office alongside positive reviews from critics, despite facing a delayed release[1] It ran successfully more than 100 days in theatres.[2] The film became a turning point in Vijay's career as he transitioned himself into a leading action hero from a romantic hero in his career.[3]
The film was remade in Telugu as Gowri with Sumanth and Charmme Kaur in 2004.[4] It was also remade in Bengali in 2007 as Kotha Dao Sathi Hobe starring Shakib Khan and Apu Biswas.[5]
