  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Cquote1
"I pray to God that you will get an ugly and stupid wife."
—Shakti, to Karthik.
Cquote2


A 2000 Tamil movie that became hugely popular in South India.

Karthik (played by Madhavan) and Shakti (Shalini)are a young married couple living in Chennai.In the first scene, Karthik is going to pick up his wife at the train station. She never shows up. As Kartik becomes worried, the movie flashes back to when he and Shakti first met two years ago. The plot jumps back and forth, following their romance and marriage from two years ago to present day, while Karthik searches for Shakti.

Unlike most South Indian Cinema, the story was pure romance and relatively low-key. It effectively mixed the honesty in the ordinary parts of the characters' lives with the usual Indian Melodrama. Alaipayuthey became such a hit, that it was dubbed into Telugu as Sakhi and remade years later in Hindi as Sathiyaa.

Did I mention that this is a Musical?
