Poove Unakkaga is a 1996 Tamil romantic drama film directed by newcomer Vikraman. The film stars Joseph Vijay, Sangeetha, Anju Aravind, and Nassar in lead roles. The movie was a blockbuster hit at the box office and was highly acclaimed for its performances and music. The story revolves around Raja (Joseph Vijay), the son of a poor fisherman, who falls in love with his childhood friend Nandini (Sangeetha). Though Nandini reciprocates his feelings, she is forced to marry another man due to pressure from her family. Heartbroken, Raja decides to leave his village and start a new life in the city. In the city, he meets Devi (Anju Aravind), a simple girl from a lower-middle-class family, who falls in love with him.

As Raja begins to rebuild his life, he becomes a successful businessman and starts living a luxurious life. However, his past still haunts him, and he is unable to forget Nandini. On the other hand, Nandini is also living a miserable life as her husband neglects her and their child. She still loves Raja and regrets not being able to marry him.

Eventually, Raja discovers that Nandini is living nearby and decides to meet her. They both confess their love for each other, but Nandini is hesitant to leave her family, and Raja is unwilling to break Devi's heart. Meanwhile, Nandini's husband discovers their affair and threatens to harm their child. In the end, Raja decides to sacrifice his love for Nandini and marries Devi, while Nandini reunites with her husband and tries to make their marriage work.

The film is a poignant tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Joseph Vijay delivers a powerful performance as Raja, capturing his struggles and emotions with nuance and depth. Sangeetha is equally impressive as Nandini, playing a complex and conflicted character with grace and conviction. Anju Aravind is also excellent as Devi, adding warmth and charm to the film.

The music of the film, composed by S. A. Rajkumar, is one of its biggest strengths. The songs, including the popular "Poove Unakkaga" and "Sollamal Thottu Chellum Thendral," are melodious and soulful, perfectly complementing the mood and tone of the film.

Overall, Poove Unakkaga is a classic love story that tugs at your heartstrings and leaves a lasting impact. Its themes of love, sacrifice, and family resonate with audiences to this day, making it a timeless classic.
