Unnidathil Ennai Koduthen (English: I Gave Myself to You) is a 1998 Tamil film directed by Vikraman, starring Karthik and Roja in the lead roles, with Ajith Kumar in a guest appearance. Ramesh Khanna, Moulee and Madhan Bob played other supporting roles. The film won critical acclaim and was a commercial successful at the box office. Following the film's box office success it was remade in Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Oriya languages.

Selvam (Karthik) lives with his friend Ramesh Khanna doing small jobs. One day they both decide to steal a Ganesh idol from a temple believing that having a stolen Ganesh idol at home will bring prosperity. They are spotted by the local people around the temple and the two hide in Radha’s (Roja) home. Radha works in Viswanthan’s (Mouli) home as maid after her mother’s death. But actually Radha is the illegitimate daughter of Viswanathan which both of them alone knows.

Viswanthan along with his wife has gone to attend a function while Radha alone stays in the home along with Viswanathan’s grandchildren. Radha spots Selvam and Ramesh Khanna and locks them in a room mistaking them as thieves. But later realizes their good nature and releases them. One day, Viswanathan’s wife Sathyapriya raises an issue that her diamond necklace is missing and accuses Radha for stealing it and sends her out of home. Radha does not want Viswanathan to reveal her true identity and instead leaves the home.

Now Selvam meets Radha and gets to know her situation. Selvam joins Radha in a women’s hostel and helps her. One day Selvam hears Radha singing and understands her singing talent. Selvam helps music director Gangai Amaren during midnight when his car was repaired. Gangai Amaren thanks Selvam and offers him help. But Selvam informs Gangai Amaren about Radha and her beautiful voice and requests him to provide her a chance for singing in movies.

Gangai Amaren agrees and calls Radha to sing in chorus along with others. But he is impressed with her singing ability and offers her a solo song. Radha gets popular as a singer and receives so much fame and prosperity. She moves to a big bungalow along with Selvam and Ramesh Khanna. In the meantime, Viswanathan also reveals that Radha is his daughter and wants to reunite with her. Viswanathan’s wife also accepts Radha as her step daughter. Everyone now lives in the same bungalow. But Sathyapriya and her sister hate Selvam and Ramesh Khanna staying along with them.
