Priyamudan

Priyamudan (English: With Love) is a 1998 Tamil romantic thriller film directed by Vincent Selva. The film features Vijay and Kausalya in the lead roles, while Sujith Sagar plays a pivotal role. The story focuses on the protagonist, who is of a hyper-possessive nature with negative shades and therefore, tries to achieve whatever he desires using any means. The film released with positive reviews and became a successful venture at the box office. This is the first movie where Vijay played an anti-hero role.

The film was later remade as Preminche Manasu in Telugu in 2000; as Nata in Kannada in 2002 and as Deewana Main Deewana in Hindi (released in 2013). The 2000 Malayalam film, Darling Darling, had several similarities to Priyamudan. Vijay registered his 6th consecutive commercial success with this movie.

Vasanth (Vijay) is a son of a wealthy businessman and grows up with a possessive attitude. This is shown in one scene in a gift shop where he breaks a gift he likes solely because it had already been bought by someone else. He pays the owner to cover the damages, but he responds with a tagline - "If I can't get it, nobody can". He happens to visit Rajasthan, where he meets Priya (Kausalya) and falls in love immediately. Priya is injured in an accident and Vasanth's friend (Vasanth Kumar) rescues her by donating blood. Being unconscious, Priya doesn't know the face of her savior, only the name "Vasanth Kumar".

After she recovers, Vijay tries to enter the picture, using the confusion in the name and making use of the soft-corner in her heart.
