Kadhalil Vizhunthen (English: I Fell in Love) is a 2008 Indian Tamil romantic thriller film written and directed by P. V. Prasath starring Nakul and Sunaina. The film has music by Vijay Antony, cinematography by S.D. Vijay Milton and editing by V. T. Vijayan. The shooting for the film started in August 2007 and the film was released in September 2008.

The film was distributed by Kalanithi Maran, the managing director of Sun Network and the son of politician (late) Murasoli Maran and released on September 2008. The song Nakka Mukka, a kuthu (folk) song and Thozhiya.., a melodious romantic song were very successful hits composed by young music director Vijay Antony and was one of the main reasons of the film's success. Nakka Mukka was played in the opening ceremony of the Cricket World Cup 2011 held at Mirpur, Bangladesh. It also featured among a medley of Tamil songs performed by Shah Rukh Khan and Shriya Saran in the inaugural of the fourth edition of the Indian Premier League 2011 held at Chennai, India.

These sensational music scores by Vijay Antony also made him popular. The film was remade in Oriya as Diwana.

The story focuses on the life of Sabhapathy (Nakul). He is the football-crazy son of an alcoholic and lives in the slums. However, he lives a comfortable life and plays football with his mates as he completes his college career. He meets Meera (Sunaina) after an accident and later develops a liking for her. He slowly starts to love her, but is afraid to express his love since she is rich and would react hastily. However, he later does confirm his love to her and she accepts. When Sabha leaves for a football match with his college, he promises that he will propose to her as soon as he gets back. Sabha returns from his match to only find out that Meera has died. Sabha is shocked and he slips into a psychotic depression, travelling around with Meera's dead body, still believing she is alive. To make matters even worse, the police are also after him. The film ends as he commits suicide after killing Meera's uncle Kasirajan (Hariraj), who murdered her in the first place in order to gain her wealth.
