Poove Unakkaga (English : For you, Flower) is a 1996 Tamil romantic film starring Vijay and Sangita in the lead roles. It was the first blockbuster in Vijay's career and a major breakthrough. The film was remade in Telugu as Subhakankshalu (1997), in Kannada as Ee Hrudaya Ninagagi (1997) and in Hindi as Badhaai Ho Badhaai (2002). The Movie went on to become a silver jubilee movie by completing 250 days at the Box office. It was also dubbed in Hindi as Manzile Pyaar Ki.

Sadhasivam (M.N.Nambiar) and Stephen (Nagesh) were family friends for generations until the time when Sadhasivam’s daughter Janaki (Tharini) falls in love with Stephen’s son Robert (Siva). The couple elope and get married against both families' wishes which leads both families to abandon them. Also enmity is created between the two families and they hate each other. Vasudevan (Malaysia Vasudevan) is the son of Sadhasivam and Moses (Jaiganesh) is the son of Stephen.

After 25 years, both the families receive a letter from Raja (Vijay), who is born to Robert and Janaki and who is also visiting the families. Both the families get furious seeing the letter and they decide not to permit him to stay in their homes. Raja comes to the town along with his friend Gopi (Charle) but is shocked that he is not allowed inside both the houses. Also Vasudevan and Moses ask the entire street to not let any house for rent to Raja and Gopi. Velangiri (Meesai Murugesh) lives along with his wife and he permits Raja to stay in his house.

Though Sadhasivam and Stephen do not welcome Raja, but still they long to see their grandson from far. Same is the case with their wives Vijayakumari and Sukumari. Raja understands it is only Vasudevan and Moses who are still angry while the other family members just pretend to be angry. So he decides to unite the family. He gets close with his grandparents slowly. Vijayakumari and Sukumari wanted to get Raja married. To escape, Raja lies that he is already married to a girl named Nirmala Mary aka Nimmy.

To Raja’s shock, suddenly one day, Nirmala (Sangita) arrives at Velangiri’s home introducing herself as the wife of Raja. Raja gets confused and he cannot reveal the truth as that would further disturb the proceedings. Nirmala plays pranks on Raja and Gopi, which always irritates them. One day, Raja plans to have love with Nirmala, so that she will reveal her true identity. Nirmala reveals that she is the only child and daughter named Priyadarshini aka Priya born to Robert and Janaki. She also says that the only man who stays in touch with her family in the town is Velangiri from whom they get frequent updates about the happenings. Now Priyadarshini questions Raja’s intention about trying to unite both the families.
