Unnai Charanadaindhen is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language romantic drama film directed by Samuthirakani, starring Venkat Prabhu, S. P. B. Charan and Meera Vasudevan. Samuthirakani's directorial debut, it was produced by Charan's Capital Film Works and features a soundtrack composed by S. P. Balasubrahmanyam. Although the film was made on a small budget and fetched critical acclaim upon release, also winning two Tamil Nadu State Film Awards, Charan has said that it was not a profitable venture.[1] Samuthirakani later directed the Telugu remake Naalo (2004).

Reception
Critical response
Chennaionline.com wrote: "A neatly crafted screenplay with some engaging situations, catchy lines, well etched characters, sensitive treatment and some fine performances, all make debutant director Samuthiraikani's maiden directorial effort Unnai Charanadainthein worth watching.[2] Balaji Balasubramaniam from Thiraipadam.com commented: "Barring the weak third act, the movie is engaging as it places one person in the middle of both a romance and friendship and gets the other two to fight over him".[3]
