Kadhal Desam is a 1996 Indian Tamil romantic drama film directed by Kathir and produced by K. T. Kunjumon. The film revolves around two friends who fall in love with the same girl and how their friendship is tested because of their love. The movie stars Abbas, Vineeth, and Tabu in the lead roles. Abbas plays the role of the wealthy, young rapper living in Delhi named Divya. Vineeth plays the role of the happy-go-lucky college student named Arvind, who belongs to a lower-middle-class family in Chennai. Tabu plays the role of a college student named Divya, who is the love interest of both Arvind and Divya.

The movie starts in Delhi where Divya meets Divya while participating in a music video shoot. They both share a common interest in music and soon become friends. After the shoot, Divya invites Divya to Chennai to visit her friend Arvind. Once in Chennai, Divya meets Arvind, and they both fall in love after spending time together.

Things start to get complicated when both Divya and Arvind discover that they have a common love interest in Divya. However, Divya is not able to decide between Arvind and Divya, and this leads to jealousy and competition between the two friends.

Divya, being a wealthy rapper, has a lavish lifestyle and can give Divya the things she desires, while Arvind, who belongs to a lower-middle-class family, cannot match those expectations. Divya finds herself attracted to Divya's lifestyle and gradually starts drifting away from Arvind. This leads to a series of events, including a bike race and a music competition, which lead to the climax of the film.

The film's soundtrack, composed by A. R. Rahman, was a big hit, with songs like "Ennai Kaanavillaiye" and "Mustafa Mustafa" becoming popular. SP Balasubrahmanyam has lent his voice for the character played by Abass, which became a chartbuster.

Kadhal Desam was critically acclaimed for its realistic portrayal of friendship and love, along with its strong social commentary on class and regional differences. Kathir's direction and the performances by the lead actors were praised by both the audience and the critics.

Overall, Kadhal Desam is a heartwarming tale of friendship, love, and chasing your dreams. It is a must-watch for all those who believe in the power of love and friendship.
