Vinnaithaandi Varuvaayaa (VTV; English: Will You Cross the Skies for Me? ), a 2010 Tamil romantic drama written and directed by Gautham Vasudev Menon, achieved instant cult status for its realistic portrayal of obsessive love, its melancholic tone, and its iconic music by A. R. Rahman. The film’s success prompted a direct Hindi remake, Ekk Deewana Tha (EDT; English: There Was a Lover ), also directed by Menon and released in 2012.
