This romantic comedy-drama is a staple of 1990s Tamil cinema. Praveen Gandhi (credited as Praveenkanth). : Composed by A. R. Rahman , featuring hit songs like "Oru Poiyavathu."

Released in 1999, Jodi (translating to "Pair" or "Couple") was a musical love story that broke conventions. Unlike the loud, action-packed masala films of the era, Jodi was subtle. It starred Prashanth as Karthik, a deaf and mute sculptor, and Simran as a bubbly medical student. The film’s plot revolves around the silent communication between the leads, relying heavily on visual cues—a specialty of cinematographer-turned-director P. C. Sreeram.
