Watch Jodi

Jodi is a romantic musical from India about a young couple and their journey as they meet, fall in love, and face the potential rejection of their love when they ask for their parents' approval. The main male character is named Kannan and played by Prashanth. Kannan's job is repairing musical instruments, but he is also a college student. His father, Rudramurthy works in the registrar's office at the school, and his main advice to young lovers who visit him at his desk after elopements is to break it off because he is against all marriages made out of love rather than from arrangements by the couples' parents. This is a problem when his son Kannan falls in love with a girl named Gayatri, played by Simran.

Her father Vengudu played by Vijayakumar was once a famous music critic until a horrible accident forced him to give up his career and hollowed his spirit, leaving him as a cynical shadow of the man he used to be. When she first meets Kannan she hates him, because she thinks he is trying to lower her chances of winning a music competition; but after she finds out that Kannan is not in any way trying to disadvantage her because of his strong love for her, she develops a strong love in return. Because of how they were both raised, they decide to get married only after all of their parents have consented.

The stars of the film are Prashanth and Simran. The film was directed by Prveenkanth, who also directed the famous 1997 film Ratachakan. Jodi is filmed almost entirely in the Tamil language, which is an Indian language predominantly spoken in southern India.

The soundtrack was composed by A. R. Rahman, who is a prolific Indian film composer made famous around the world in 2009 with his hit Jai Ho in the British-Indian film Slumdog Millionare that won multiple Oscars and other awards, including the Oscar for Best Picture.
