Darling Darling is a 2000 Malayalam musical-comedy film made in India, starring Dileep, Vineeth and Kavya Madhavan. It was directed by Rajasenan and written by Udayakrishna and Siby K. Thomas. The film was remade in Kannada as Jodi with Shivrajkumar and Jaggesh. The film has several similarities with the Vijay-Vincent Selva film, Priyamudan.

Subhash Chandra Bose aka Kochu Kurup hears a phone call from a teenage girl named Padmaja 'Pappi' Warrier and soon falls in love with her. But his parents send him to Bangalore to his best friend Kartik aka Aniyankutty (Dileep), who is a rich womanizer. Aniyankutty also falls in love with Pappi, but he does not disclose this to Kochu Kurup. Kochu Kurup's father brings a marriage alliance to him, but he says that he is not interested, not knowing that the alliance is with Pappi herself. However, Kartik gets to know this, and he helps Kochu Kurup to cancel the wedding since he has an eye on her.

Kochu Kurup and Pappi try to elope before the marriage, unaware that the marriage scheduled for them was with each other. Aniyankutty stops Kurup on the way with the help of thugs so that instead of Kurup he can reach the railway station and take Pappi with him. But then the family intervenes, and Aniyankutty's plot is revealed. Kurup and Pappi unite.

Ouseppachan composed the soundtrack and background score for this movie. One of Ouseppachan's tunes as a background score in a 1991 Malayalam movie Ulladakkam became a song in this movie,i.e., Pranaya Sougandhikangal
