Karthik falls for Shwetha, who at first treats him as a friend; according to a [TV Guide](https://www.edgepedia.org/tv-guide) synopsis, he pressures the vulnerable Shwetha emotionally, and the two become intimate during a trip to a seaside resort, after which Shwetha discovers she is pregnant.<sup>[4](https://www.tvguide.com/movies/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer/cast/2000298682/)</sup>\n\nThe couple first tries to end the pregnancy without telling their parents; in one account, a doctor refuses and turns them away, and later doctors say that after three months the procedure is no longer possible and would endanger Shwetha's life.<sup>[5](https://tamilar.wiki/w/%E0%AE%86%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B2%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%B5%E0%AF%80%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D)</sup> When the families learn the truth, negotiations follow: the girl's family struggles to arrange a marriage to preserve its honor, while the boy's family looks for a way out and finally offers marriage only on the condition that the pregnancy be terminated, which the girl's side refuses.<sup>[6](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/reviews/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-review-181862.html)</sup> The film's climax, which reviewers singled out as its emotional center, resolves what happens to the couple and the pregnancy.<sup>[6](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/reviews/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-review-181862.html)</sup>\n\n## Production and cast\n\nSuseenthiran made the film through Nallu Movies, a production company he started in his father Nallu's name, with his brother Saravanan (credited as Thai Saravanan) as producer.<sup>[7](https://www.adrasaka.com/search?max-results=20&reverse-paginate=true&updated-max=2013-08-23T14%3A27%3A00%2B05%3A30)</sup> Santhosh Ramesh, the son of producer Ramesh, made his acting debut as the hero, and Manisha Yadav, then known for *Vazhakku Enn 18/9*, played the heroine.<sup>[7](https://www.adrasaka.com/search?max-results=20&reverse-paginate=true&updated-max=2013-08-23T14%3A27%3A00%2B05%3A30)</sup> The supporting cast includes Poornima Bhagyaraj as Karthik's mother, V. Jayaprakash as Shwetha's father, Tulasi as Shwetha's mother, and Arjunan as Karthik's friend.<sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2419576/fullcredits/)</sup> Students from Loyola and MOP Vaishnava colleges also appeared in the film.<sup>[8](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/news/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-164580.html)</sup>\n\n[Yuvan Shankar Raja](https://www.edgepedia.org/yuvan-shankar-raja) composed the music, with lyrics by Vaali, Yugabharathi, and Francis Kiruba; the soundtrack includes the songs \"Mella Sirithal\" and \"Aarariraro,\" and playback singers on the album included [Udit Narayan](https://www.edgepedia.org/udit-narayan), Vijay Yesudas, and Bhavatharini Ilaiyaraaja.<sup>[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2419576/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.moviebuff.com/aadhalaal-kadhal-seiveer)</sup>\n\n## Release and box office\n\nThe film reached theaters on 15 August 2013 under unusual circumstances. In an interview later circulated online, Suseenthiran said that Vijay's *[Thalaivaa](https://www.edgepedia.org/thalaivaa)*, scheduled for 9 August 2013, was delayed by disputes, and that his film was released on 15 August with little promotion to use the gap in release dates. When *Thalaivaa* finally opened on 20 August, distributed by Red Giant, *Aadhalal Kadhal Seiveer* was pulled from theaters after about one week.<sup>[9](https://tamil.abplive.com/entertainment/director-suseenthiran-talks-about-his-movie-aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-169088)</sup> Suseenthiran said the film, despite the strength of its message, did not achieve large-scale commercial success for this reason.<sup>[9](https://tamil.abplive.com/entertainment/director-suseenthiran-talks-about-his-movie-aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-169088)</sup> A Filmibeat retrospective likewise lists it among well-regarded Tamil love stories that failed to find a large audience on release.<sup>[10](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/top-listing/kadhalum-kadandhu-pogum-poo-to-dharmadurai-most-under-rated-best-love-films-in-tamil-cinema-5-2301.html)</sup>\n\n## Reception\n\nContemporary reviews were positive about the film's treatment and its climax. The Times of India gave it 3.5 out of 5, calling it a return to form for Suseenthiran after *Rajapattai* and noting that it captured the couple's friendship, family life, romance, and the resulting tragedy without becoming preachy.<sup>[11](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/Tamil/movie-details/Aadhalal-Kadhal-Seiveer/movieshow/61274734.cms)</sup> Filmibeat's reviewer rated it 3 out of 5, praising the compact storytelling, Manisha Yadav's performance, Tulasi's scenes, and a climax and song that \"cut to the heart,\" while cautioning that the film risked suggesting that this outcome is the fate of all love.<sup>[6](https://tamil.filmibeat.com/reviews/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer-review-181862.html)</sup> A Tamil review site reported that the film received a strong reception and that news stories claimed director Cheran's daughter had reformed after watching it.<sup>[5](https://tamilar.wiki/w/%E0%AE%86%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B2%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%95%E0%AE%BE%E0%AE%A4%E0%AE%B2%E0%AF%8D_%E0%AE%9A%E0%AF%86%E0%AE%AF%E0%AF%8D%E0%AE%B5%E0%AF%80%E0%AE%B0%E0%AF%8D)</sup> On IMDb the film holds a rating of 7.2 out of 10 from about 597 votes.<sup>[12](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer)</sup>\n\n## Legacy\n\nThe film's story was remade in Kannada as *Naduve Antaravirali* (2018), directed by Raveen Kumaara; reviewers of that film noted that it closely followed the original, retaining even the final song sequence involving a two-year-old child.<sup>[1](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2419576/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[13](https://www.cinemaexpress.com/reviews/kannada/2018/Oct/06/naduve-antaravirali-review-emotions-and-drama-in-right-portions-8198.html)</sup> The film remains available for streaming in India on JioHotstar.<sup>[12](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/aadhalal-kadhal-seiveer)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
