Kushi is a Tamil romantic comedy film that released in the year 2000. The movie directed by S. J. Surya, stars Jyotika and Joseph Vijay in the lead roles, with Mumtaj in a pivotal supporting role. The film is a classic example of a cute, and funny romantic love story. The plot of the movie revolves around two young protagonists, Shiva and Jenny, who keep crossing paths with each other throughout the course of the film. Although the film is set in the background of a modern tech industry scenario in Chennai, the story is about a pure and uncomplicated love affair between these two characters that proceeds with all its classic innocence.

While Shiva (Vijay) is a carefree guy working hard to establish his own startup, Jenny (Jyothika) is a confident young girl who is extremely career-oriented. However, their worlds collide and the pair soon find themselves becoming close friends. The plot thickens when Shiva realizes that he is in love with Jenny, but to his disappointment, Jenny already has a boyfriend named Vishwanathan (Nassar), who works for the same company as Jenny.

The story then takes an exciting turn when Shiva decides to win Jenny's heart and compete against her boyfriend. To add humor to the storyline, Mumtaj as Shiva's friend Pooja intervenes, trying to seduce Shiva amidst all the chaos. The rest of the film is about Shiva's crazy attempts to win Jenny over.

The film aspires to explore issues of love, romance, and relationships in the modern 21st century. Although the story is predictable, the casting of the film more than makes up for any disappointment. Jyothika delivers an immense performance as a smart, successful, and self-confident woman who knows how to stand up for herself. Vijay, as usual, flawlessly portrays the role of the charming and carefree lover boy, delivering a perfect combination of comedy, romance, and action.

One of the key highlights of the film is its music. The soundtrack was composed by Deva, while Vaali penned the lyrics. The music, in all, is a complete package of peppy dance numbers and melodious romantic tracks. The catchy beats of the opening song 'Oh baby' and the foot-tapping track 'Maayi' are the most popular among the youth. Both songs have become everlasting favorites in the state of Tamil Nadu.

The film also benefits from its stylish visuals and apt cinematography. The city of Chennai is beautifully captured, showing various iconic spots such as Marina beach and Egmore railway station. While some of the shots might not be technically perfect, the overall imagery adds to the charm and aesthetics of the movie.

Overall, the film is a classic rom-com that delivers on all fronts. From the dialogues to the songs, the performances to the visuals, Kushi is a brilliant example of a film hitting all the right marks.

In conclusion, the film Kushi is a must-watch for Tamil cinema lovers, and a perfect example of how a good romantic comedy should be. It's sweet, funny, and has terrific performances coupled with beautiful music. The film is a timeless classic and an unforgettable piece of art that can be enjoyed and cherished over the years.
