### Premise and structure
The film follows three couples whose stories unfold in separate settings. Vimal plays Varun, a chartered accountant whose romance with Anjana (Lasini) is set in a hill station; Cheran plays Gunasekar, a social worker who runs an organization rehabilitating former prisoners, paired with Mallika (Muktha Bhanu) in a coastal town; and [Arjun Sarja](https://www.edgepedia.org/arjun-sarja) plays Paul Harris Rosario, a swimming coach, paired with Divya ([Surveen Chawla](https://www.edgepedia.org/surveen-chawla)) in the plains.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal) • [5](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-moondru-per-moondru-kadhal-is-a-musical-treat/20130502.htm)
The narrative opens in 2016, with Vimal's character narrating events from the couples' lives going back to 2012, so the film is largely told as a retrospective narration.[6](https://www.ibtimes.co.in/039moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal039-review-roundup-works-in-parts-464059) Vasanth described the film as "not a love story but a story about love," with the three stories illustrating a shared theme of sacrifice rather than functioning as independent romances.[7](https://m.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/2013/apr/30/slide-show-1-moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal-is-not-a-love-story.htm)
## Production and cast
The film was Vasanth's first feature since *Satham Podathey* (2007), a gap of about six years.[8](https://www.newindianexpress.com/amp/story/entertainment/review/2013/May/08/moondru-per-moondru-kadal-tamil-475467.html) It was produced by Bharath Kumar, Mahendhiran, and Maha Ajay Prasath under the banners Mahendra Talkies and History Moving Forward.[1](https://www.moviebuff.com/moondru-per-moondru-kadal) Filming began on 1 July 2011, with shoots reported in [Thiruvananthapuram](https://www.edgepedia.org/thiruvananthapuram), Nagercoil, and Chennai.[1](https://www.moviebuff.com/moondru-per-moondru-kadal) • [9](https://tamilcine007.blogspot.com/2012/07/blog-post_1051.html?m=0)
The cast drew attention for combining established names with newcomers. Surveen Chawla and Lasini were both introduced in this film.[7](https://m.rediff.com/movies/slide-show/2013/apr/30/slide-show-1-moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal-is-not-a-love-story.htm) The supporting cast included [Thambi Ramaiah](https://www.edgepedia.org/thambi-ramaiah), Appukutty, John Vijay, Sathyan, Aadukalam Naren, Bosskey, Shanthi Williams, and Ravi Raghavendra.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal) Vasanth's son Ritvik appeared in a cameo, dancing in the "Stop the Paatu" number.[10](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal-review.html)
## Music
[Yuvan Shankar Raja](https://www.edgepedia.org/yuvan-shankar-raja) composed the soundtrack, his third collaboration with Vasanth after earlier work including *Satham Podathey*.[11](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-music-reviews/review-1/dec-12-01/moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal-music-review.html) The album contains six songs, all with lyrics by [Na. Muthukumar](https://www.edgepedia.org/na-muthukumar): "Aaha Kaadhal Konji Pesudhe" (Nandini Srikar), "Kaadhal Endhan Kaadhal" ([Neha Bhasin](https://www.edgepedia.org/neha-bhasin)), "Mazhai Mazhai" (Karthik and Shwetha Mohan), "Padapadakkudhu Maname" (Krish and Blaaze), "Unakkaagave Uyir Vaazhgiren" (Yuvan Shankar Raja), and "Stop the Paatu" (Ramesh Vinayagam).[4](https://open.spotify.com/album/2WCBftWuU6u5idKTk8LVDj)
The songs were released ahead of the film and became popular before its theatrical run; [Behindwoods](https://www.edgepedia.org/behindwoods) noted that Yuvan was, by its account, the first to bring dubstep into Tamil film music with "Unakkaagave Uyir Vaazhgiren".[10](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal-review.html) • [11](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-music-reviews/review-1/dec-12-01/moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal-music-review.html) Reviewers consistently treated the music as the film's strongest element; Rediff's review called it "the only saving grace of an otherwise ordinary film" and singled out Nandini Srikar's vocals on "Aaha Kaadhal Konji Pesudhe".[5](https://www.rediff.com/movies/review/south-review-moondru-per-moondru-kadhal-is-a-musical-treat/20130502.htm)
## Reception
Critical response was mixed. The Behindwoods review board judged that the film "works in parts," praising the music and Bhojan K Dinesh's cinematography while finding the slow pacing a drawback for audiences used to quicker plots; it ranked Arjun's segment as the strongest of the three.[10](https://www.behindwoods.com/tamil-movies/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal/moondru-per-moondru-kadhal-review.html) Malini Mannath, writing in The New Indian Express, called the film visually appealing and spiritually uplifting but found the screenplay lacking coherence and clarity.[8](https://www.newindianexpress.com/amp/story/entertainment/review/2013/May/08/moondru-per-moondru-kadal-tamil-475467.html) On IMDb the film holds a 5.2/10 rating from 331 votes.[3](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2187102/)
## Availability
The film is available for streaming on Zee5, free with advertisements, as of March 2026.[2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/moondru-per-moondru-kaadhal) It was also dubbed into Telugu as *Itlu Prematho*.[1](https://www.moviebuff.com/moondru-per-moondru-kadal)
